Thank you to everyone who passed by my recent solo-exhibition EXPANDING WORLDS: Mapping Space and Time at Gallery Kunst 40 in Berlin.

This connection stems from my personal experience: In my work, I process identity and the imprints of my multicultural life – a life in which I have always been part of a greater whole while simultaneously standing on the outside. This perspective has sharpened my view: I observe things from a distance while moving through them – or life moves me. Movement has therefore become the guiding thread of my work.
As a painter, I work at the intersection of drawing and painting, combining fine liner, ink, acrylic, and oil paint in layered compositions that interweave and overlap. My paintings are abstract compositions, characterized by layered forms and lines - looping like strands of DNA or dissolving into veils of light- that generate fluid visual fields. They reflect the interplay of life, space, time and light – moments in which these elements collide, merge, separate, or dissolve.
Since 2023, the circular form has been at the center of my work. I use gold leaf selectively to highlight colours and shapes, enhancing reflections and contrasts. With parallel strokes, I describe paths, routes, and passages – evoking a codex of territories, marking boundaries or highlighting connections, guided by my interest for a larger view on life, society and humanities search for evolution.
I see my art as a visual refuge – providing space expanding and shifting between the visible and the invisible.
Surround yourself with original art! For the friends of my art I have created 10 fine art print BALANCE, 70 x 50 cm, on 305g Hahnemühle paper, embellished by the artist hands with coloured drawing and silver leaf on each print. The artwork is a true eye catcher, uplifting and enhancing every private or office space! Price: 480,- Euro
The artwork BALANCE will be released in a limited edition of 10 during the upcoming solo-exhibition in Berlin, EXPANDING WORLDS: Mapping Space and Time, the 3. of May 2025. Each art-print is embellished with some original coloured drawings with silver metal leafs to make it unique and alive! Sharing a moment in my studio, while signing the 10 fine art prints for the friends of my email subscriber list. If you are interested to be part of future special events or offers like getting the first view of the 10 original artworks created for EXPANDING WORLDS: Mapping Space and Time feel free to sign up!
