Tender Heart in a Warrior’s Dress III
2023 – Series “Tender Warrior” (view series)
30 x 40 x 1.5 cm
Acrylic and oil on canvas
This painting carries movement within it.
Like an arc, it stretches from the closed stem to the bud beginning to open.
Transformation is visible—not loud, but step by step.
In the middle, the blooming begins.
This isn’t about all or nothing.
Not about being completely naked or fully protected.
It’s about that subtle sense: When is it time to show myself? And when may I protect myself?
The thickly applied paint, the scratched areas, and the shimmer of deeper layers speak to exactly that.
To an inner core that remains—even as the outer changes.
To a decision that comes from within: Today I pull my warrior’s dress tighter.
Or I leave it open and step softly into the world.
This painting isn’t strikingly different from the others in the series—but it breathes growth.
It shows that change doesn’t have to be loud to be real.
It shows that our thorns can soften too, and that we’re allowed to show our vulnerability. The strength is still there, standing by our side when we need it.
You’re allowed to change.
You’re allowed to decide when you protect your heart—and when you show it.
Because your essence is your instinct.
And it knows when the time is right.

Art is more than a decorative picture on the wall.
Art is a luxury you’re allowed to treat yourself to, because it makes something resonate within you.
Art is individual—and the opposite of mass-produced goods and fast-moving fashion.
A work of art stays with you (and sometimes for generations) and becomes part of your life and all the stories within it.
My paintings are resources in which you can recognize yourself.
They are my personal engagement with the challenges and beauty of life.
I invite you to find your own resource in the depths of the layers and the richness of the colors—for strength, focus, or calm in your own life. And to give your home a truly personal touch with my art, and tell your own story through it.
