Why I work in series

When an image emerges
from inner processes

You might know this feeling: Something inside you begins to shimmer or flicker—a thought, a memory, a feeling… It’s simply there. You can’t yet categorize it, but you sense that something is moving, even though you can’t grasp it yet.

This is exactly where my painting process begins: in the in-between. In the hesitation. In the longing to make visible something that only reveals itself through the act of doing.

I make art to give this shimmer or flicker a space. And I paint in series because a single image is rarely enough.

I want to approach themes from different perspectives—slowly, tentatively, without claiming completeness. For me, life is not a single drumbeat, but a series of interconnected moments. My series follow this inner logic: They show development. Emotional states, movement, and the moment of self-recognition. They are sequences of images that support, complement, and question each other.

Series give me support—and space

Even as a child, I sensed that wonder/amazement and hesitation/fear are not opposites, but two poles of one and the same life force. Back then, I had no secure framework for it. Today, working in series gives me exactly this space. It holds me when anxiety threatens to turn my sensitivity into rigidity. And it reminds me that from a first, still unclear point on the canvas, step by step, an image may emerge that carries something.

I work quickly, in layers, often on several canvases simultaneously. I sometimes begin with something recognizable—a portrait, a form, wild gestural brushstrokes, or physical dance on the canvas—and paint over it. Not to erase it, but to transform it. I work the way I think: with inner connections, in dialogue, with detours. The abstract allows me to express what cannot be captured in clear lines.

Common frameworks, individual voices

Series give my images a creative framework. Usually a central theme that defines me as a person: Alchemy of Life or Soulsister, Shelter… Sometimes it’s a particular color palette, formats, or recurring motifs like plants, landscapes, lines, movements. This framework connects the individual works—but each series retains its own voice.
