In my artistic work I deal with myself and my mental illness.
Through the abstract approach, my subconscious reveals itself in my works. I let myself be guided by my intuition, which opens up a new area of immediate knowledge and feeling. Through painting, I awaken experiences and memories, and discover patterns and new associations. Collecting shapes and colors leads me to self-observation and self-discovery.
I mainly work with oil paints on raw canvas and sew these with transparent fabric. I am fascinated by the transparency in contrast to the absorbing and reflecting color pigments on opaque canvas.
