Statement
In my art, I like to look at how things can be both structured and free, a bit chaotic, but also peaceful. I get many of these seemly contrary experiences from nature and relate it to what I feel inside. I draw and paint in a way that's not always showing real things, but explores colors and textures in the same contrary way. My art tries to capture special moments and how delicate life and balance can be.
I want people who see my art contemplate and feel something deep inside. I love making art because it challenges me and also helps me sooth inner conflicts. It also lets me express my experiences in a special and creative way.
