Artist Statement

Just like the meandering of water, my painting technique sometimes produces random shapes and colors, but in the end, they follow a logic and their own destiny. My artwork allows me to capture the ephemeral moments from the ocean and preserve them in my home as a memento. My artworks invite you to lose yourself in them. In multiple layers, which are cast with epoxy resin and poured with acrylic paints and alcohol inks, the maritime landscape tells its own story. Each time you look at it, you discover something new: a river? A spot? A reef? I love creating these fluid images.

The way I make my art ensures that each piece is truly unique: First, I create a rough landscape on a hardboard panel, which determines the structure. Then I pour the colors. This is followed by a layer of epoxy resin. Details are then added with acrylic paints. Depending on the painting, this results in up to three layers of resin, which create a unique water-like depth effect. In the end the surface sometimes is calm, like a lake. For others, perhaps the tip of a rock stands out.
