ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
The artwork I’m holding here was painted by my grandmother—art flows through my veins.
I was born in Erlangen, a charming city in northwest Bavaria and now live and work in the vibrant metropolitan region of Nuremberg, Germany.
With my father living in South Africa, I’m fortunate to call two continents home.
WHO AM I
I’m a creative soul who loves to "tinker around" and explore new ideas. A free spirit at heart, I live with a strong sense of justice and a deep connection to my emotions. My mood can be unpredictable—sometimes I’m introspective, other times I’m out there, energetic and engaged. I’m both curious and inquisitive, often getting impatient when I want answers.
WHAT DRIVES ME
Family, art, animals, nature and food top my list of passions. I’m loyal to the people and values I hold dear and I love being around others who are unapologetically themselves — that’s when I feel most at ease. I cherish moments of laughter, the kind that’s spontaneous and unrestrained.
I thrive in organized chaos and believe in giving credit where credit is due. I’m also a lover of loud music during car rides and take joy in the simple things, like enjoying iced coffee and cooking (though I’m not much of a baker). While I’m not a fan of crowds, I’m never bored. I stay busy with my research and as a movie junkie, I could never imagine a world without films — I have the utmost respect for this art form.
I grew up spending most of my childhood surrounded by horses and nature. I'm a sneakerhead and I love my solitude, but when the mood strikes, I can engage deeply with others.
My Taurus nature makes me an epicure, always seeking the finest things in life. While I’m not one for the spotlight, I’m definitely here to succeed and make my mark.
MY WORK
I see my life as an artist as an ongoing journey, always searching for new impulses. I believe it is this constant quest for discovery that fuels my creativity and keeps me moving forward.
My motivation is driven entirely by external inspiration. Whether I’m consciously aware of it or not, it’s always present. I find inspiration in everything—from deep conversations and films to images and especially when I’m traveling or on the move.
As a child, I was fortunate to travel extensively with my parents and I’ve always been fascinated by how my perception shifts through the diversity of different cultures. The seamless transitions between dialects, the unique vegetation, the architecture and the different life philosophies of the people I encounter — all of these elements shape how I see the world.
This richness is what I find in art — the variety of subjects, the myriad forms of expression, the different ways of handling content and the endless possibilities for creation.
What I see, feel and experience continues to inspire both my life and my work.
