My paintings are abstract or non-representational, with a limited palette and content. I investigate how much – or how little – is required for colors, shapes and materials to reveal their essence and effect.

Following an intuitive approach, I strive for balance without losing tension, for reduction without becoming trivial, and am always fascinated by universal concepts of form, mass, proportion, rhythm, and structure. Influenced by modern art, everyday surroundings and nature, my main inspiration is an inner urge to find my own expression.

More recently, I've been working almost entirely with liquid media such as ink, watercolor, or diluted acrylic paint on high quality paper, as well as natural cotton or linen canvas. I investigate the impact of deep color spaces, sensitive lines and marks, and the dynamic interaction of the various players. Experimentation is an essential part of my artistic process, and I keep my senses open to coincidences and surprises.

My artworks are quiet reflections on the beauty of life and its fundamental simplicity. They are intended to provide a grounding experience and radiate a sense of calm, peace and serenity. An invitation to step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life for a brief moment of reflection and resonance, allowing the eyes to rest and the soul to linger.
