Artist Statement
From silence to dynamism: art as an expression of inner strength
My art is an explosive interaction of inner forces and outer expression. By liquefying colors that come to life using kinetic and thermal energy, I create new, complex color nuances and unique details on my canvases. This dynamic movement in my works reflects my passion for transforming silent thoughts into living art.
I am a thoughtful person who prefers to sleep on decisions before making them. This thoughtfulness flows into my art, giving each step of my creative process time and space to unfold. Then, when I select the colors and put them on the canvas, I feel an exhilarating energy that drives me steadily forward. My work becomes a dynamic journey where I both pause and move forward with determination.
I mainly work in a structured and disciplined way because these qualities give me stability and direction. Unconventional in my approach, I do not follow the usual paths, but discover new paths, be it in the technique, the way I use materials, or the themes I choose. My art is an expression of my single-minded determination to realize my own ideas and dreams, regardless of external expectations. At the end of every creative process, I find balance.
My works are not only an expression of my inner world, but also a means of self-discovery and healing. I love practicing yoga to calm my thoughts and find my inner balance. This snapshot of releasing energy to access inner strength is reflected in my art and invites viewers to discover their own inner peace and strength. My art contains a challenge: allow all contradictions and paradoxes to exist within you. Unite them with your inner strength and find your destiny.
Beyond my personal journey, I would also like to see a world in which people don't have to pretend to be accepted. A world in which diversity is not explained, but lived as a matter of course.
In my studio – as in my art – you can simply be there without having to categorise yourself.
I see my creative work as an invitation to more openness, mutual respect and inner freedom - for us and for all those to whom we leave this world.
