1. How did you begin your journey into the art world?
I started painting as a teenager and have been involved with art in various forms throughout my life: performing arts, photography, and ceramics. Due to my profession and family, art didn’t hold the importance I wished for, but when my life became calmer, I dedicated myself intensively first to photography and later to abstract painting.
2. Where do you draw inspiration for your abstract works?
I work predominantly intuitively and in the moment, letting spontaneous ideas guide me. Sometimes I start with an idea that ends up entirely different in the final piece.
3. How do you choose the colors, shapes, and textures for your works?
Nature often inspires me in terms of colors and forms. I sometimes deliberately apply textures, but I also often let them emerge by chance and decide afterward how to proceed
4. What techniques do you use to bring your creations to life?
I frequently use mixed-media techniques, as they allow for diverse accents in the artwork. I incorporate everything that inspires me for my art: textures, found objects from lost places, everyday life, and nature. I simply love experimenting!
5. Do you identify with a specific movement or artistic style?
No, I don’t like to commit to one—it can feel like a straitjacket! Since I am constantly evolving, it would limit me from trying new things. Change should be visible and spark curiosity about what’s next.
6. What does your creative process look like? Do you follow a precise plan or rely on instinct and emotion?
I am guided by my ideas, intuitive color and material choices, and rarely plan concretely—though it happens occasionally. However, my intuition almost always takes precedence over the plan. When the plan takes over, things often go “wrong.”
7. What message do you want to convey with your works?
I work on various themes, each carrying its own message. For example, the “Ocean in Motion” series appeals to people who love the sea and the color blue.
The “Emotions” series is much more abstract and speaks to those who want to delve deeply into human existence and emotion.
This series is often visually less harmonious and can be challenging or even provocative.
“Lost Places” has garnered significant interest and combines photography with abstract painting through a special transfer technique. These works touch people in unique ways. The theme of “transience” is central, inspiring viewers to imagine the stories behind abandoned places.
My current theme explores development and transformation processes, which provides ample room for creativity.
In summary, my art conveys a range of messages, spanning from lightness to emotional depth.
8. What are your goals or aspirations as an abstract artist?
Painting itself is enough for me—it brings me profound joy and presence in the moment.
Additionally, I value engaging with viewers of my work. What associations do they have?
What emotions does it evoke? Do they find my work “beautiful,” or does it awaken memories? Do they see themselves in the painting, as it resonates emotionally or sparks reflection on a topic?
Introspection and interaction have always been part of my life. Art opens unique dimensions and possibilities in this regard.
9. Do you have any future projects or dreams you’d like to share with us?
I don’t have a specific goal in mind that I want to “achieve”—the journey is the destination! However, I am not aimlessly drifting through the art world. I continue to evolve and adapt my activities to current circumstances.
If my works evoke feelings, thoughts, and impulses in people, I have reached the goal of my artistic dreams—and yet, I will continue my journey.
