MY WORK
I see my life as an artist as a journey and am constantly on the lookout for new impulses. I am convinced that it is precisely this search and joy of discovery that drives me forward as an artist.
My intrinsic motivation is driven exclusively by external inspiration. It is omnipresent, whether I consciously perceive it or not. I find it in everything. In good conversations, in movies, in pictures, but especially when traveling or being on the road.
I was lucky enough to be able to travel a lot with my parents as a child. I've always found it fascinating how my perception changes through the diversity of other cultures. The seamless transitions from one dialect to another. The vegetation, the architecture and the different attitudes to life of the people who live there.
It is exactly this richness that I find in art. The variety of topics, the forms of expression, the handling of different contents, the abundance of implementation and also the amount of possibilities captivate me.
What I see and feel inspires me for my own life and for my work.
