I was born in 1990 in the German harbour town Wismar. I grew up in a small village nearby, located close to the coastline and was surrounded by a lot of nature and the melancholic landscape. As a child I was drawing and painting eagerly and was encouraged in it in my teenage years. The family I grew up in was very focused on spirituality and nature. Instead of contemporary art I came in touch with a lot of sacred art, choral music and christian mythology while growing up.
I began studying Fine Arts at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg in 2010. An exchange semester led me to the Goldsmiths University of London. After returning to Hamburg in 2016, I finished my Masters of Fine Arts at the HFBK in 2017 and moved to Berlin three years later.

My artistic practice is characterised by a sense of fluid transformation. Although my compositions are based on legible figures and landscapes, they are never tied to the real. Instead, I allow an alternative iconographic cosmos to emerge - one characterised by myth, animism and memory.
My works not only depict, they conjure and invoke; the figures emerge from the space between dream and ritual, knowledge and intuition. My paintings and installations are imbued with a deep sense of symbolic resonance and come from intuitive processes and meditative moments with the images.

In my visual worlds, divine beings hover in states of glowing transformation, their bodies half-formed, half-forgotten. Forests open up like sentient thresholds, where spirits emerge from behind trees or rise from twilight-coloured pools. Human figures dissolve as they walk, limbs melt into stone, bark or fire, while others are frozen in mid-transformation.
These scenes unfold in landscapes that are both familiar and indefinable - twilight forests, cracked grottos or arid mythical plains - spaces where time collapses and memory merges with the archetype. The images hover between the sacred and the unconscious, with each image representing a portal rather than a conclusion.
The light in my paintings has an alchemical quality. It casts an otherworldly glow that does not illuminate but reveals - a diffuse, dazzling brightness that seems to come from within the figures themselves. I stage encounters - moments that are charged with symbolic unease. My pictures speak in the language of the in-between: the moment in which the familiar form begins to shift, in which the narrative begins to waver, in which the self dissolves into myth. I pursue this tension between emergence and disappearance in search of its limits.
