The pandemic showed us on the one hand the fragility of life, on the other hand resilience and adaptability.

The round shapes represent basic forms of life - eggs, seeds, nuclei, maybe pebbles. Their fragility contrasts with the integrated vitality and power. They stand alone, but are in constant exchange with their neighbors.

The amazing amount of little maple seeds swirling in the air and covering the ground in spring - my first in the country - also were part of the inspiration for this series.
Impressed by nature's genius and beauty, I tried to capture the abundance and chaos of these seeds, the elegance in the air and fragility despite condensed power.

This series is characterized by these round shapes and earthy tones. It was a search for balance between shiny and matte areas, line and surface, warm and cool colors, stillness and movement.

The paintings are on canvas and created with different media like acrylics, marble flour or sand, that allow a lot of texture.
