Description
In this painting, the symbol remains clearly visible, yet its certainty begins to dissolve. The bright smile contrasts with soft layers of color, drips, traces of revision and visible marks of the painting process. What initially appears cheerful gradually reveals a more fragile and ambiguous emotional presence.
I am interested in the moment when familiar signs stop functioning automatically. The smile remains intact, but its meaning becomes less fixed and more open to interpretation. Instead of communicating a single emotion, the image invites reflection on vulnerability, uncertainty and the complexity hidden beneath seemingly simple expressions.
Balancing symbolic imagery with expressive oil painting, transforms a familiar icon into a meditation on perception, emotion and the instability of seemingly certain meanings. The work occupies a space between recognition and ambiguity, where a simple symbol begins to tell a more human story.
Presentation
Born in Bad Segeberg, my life's journey has taken me to vibrant locales such as Brazil, Spain, and the USA. I pursued my passion for art at the prestigious Falmouth School of Art and Design in England and complemented this with a diploma in Geography from Marburg University.
Since 1997, I have had the privilege of showcasing my work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in cultural hubs like Antwerp, Berlin, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, and Mainz. My artistic journey also involves organizing workshops focused on experimental and expressive painting, sharing my techniques and vision with fellow art enthusiasts.
From 2007 to 2014, I operated a production gallery in Mainz, fostering a creative community. Since 2014, I have been based at my studio in Langendellschlag 62, Wiesbaden, where my creative ideas come to life. In 2021, I expanded my artistic reach by opening "ARTLET," a dedicated art outlet in the heart of the city, making my work more accessible to a broader audience.
My diverse experiences and passion for art continue to drive my creativity, allowing me to inspire and be inspired in return.
