born in Bielefeld
lives and works in Bielefeld and Potsdam.
Through intensive self-taught studies in painting I have explored my artistic practice in abstractation.
In the beginning colour was a material for me. I loved to create thick, pasty colours with pigments and acrylic binder and to spread (spatulate) them on the canvas, figurative to abstract.
I worked with lines and shapes and brushstrokes from intuitive to planned. Failure was always included.
Later I also added material, paper, maps, lampshades that I took apart, plastic bags that I found in the forest, truck tarpaulin, old signs and and and….Ideas and inspirations developed from this, the material was used on the canvas.
I am fascinated by packaging material. And the backs of old canvases also become interesting to me. The back can become the front. Old canvases are cut into stripsand.
Sometimes paper or packaging is shaped into something and sprayed, creating sculptural, imaginativ objects.
