Lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany
Artist Statement
I am a figurative painter. Mainly interested in the state of introspection that appears in portraits and in the motif of sleep.
The paintings refer to an invisible inner perspective through colour, which goes beyond the form of the body.
I work parallelly on series of works that are non-linear and interwoven.
