The focus of my work is drawings, often large in size and filling space. These drawings sometimes stand alone, but often form installations that reinforce each other, immersing the viewer in a total experience of images and lines.

For me, drawing is more than a means of communication; it is a direct expression of my thoughts and emotions. The spontaneous nature of drawing allows me to capture my ideas quickly. The lines are not only visual, but also a physical representation of the moment.

This direct, raw connection between my inner world and the paper creates a fragile ephemerality. Lines can blur and paper discolors, reminding one of the impermanence of time. My drawings search for a visual language that is not only visible but also tangible.

In my work, I often use decorative elements from my surroundings. These details fascinate me because of their ability to evoke personal and cultural memories. They act as visual triggers, like a pattern that reminds you of your grandparents’ wallpaper, carrying melancholic undertones of times gone by.

Decorative elements are carriers of stories, interwoven with memories and history.They refer to aesthetic choices of a time or culture, but also to personal experiences. Grandmothers wallpaper is not just decor; it carries moments of intimacy and loss.Although they seem mundane, these elements open a gateway to the past and give deeper meaning to the everyday.

At the same time, these decorations confront us with impermanence. Where at first they exude beauty and familiarity, they also remind us of decay and the passage of time.Nostalgia goes hand in hand with the realization that what we remember cannot be fully brought back.

In my work, I explore the tension between memory and loss, beauty and impermanence. The decorative motifs serve as carriers of both beauty and decay, striking a balance between holding on to and letting go of the past.
