I'm a visual artist and the focus of my artistic work is painting. In my works on canvas, I explore the question of how human consciousness arises.
The Artistic Field of Research – How do we become who we are?
I understand the painting process as a systematic treatment of all the questions that have always fascinated me:
How does individual consciousness arise and how does it interact with the unconscious? To what extent do memory and remembrance form a manifest framework for perceptual processes and strategies for action? What happens when identity is reversibly damaged or completely destroyed by trauma? And how does the totality of these processes affect the collective and transgenerational level?
I consider the medium of painting an ideal tool for simulating the specific dynamics of identity formation, which are characterized by contradictions.
I'm excited to be now featured on Foundwork. Foundwork is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that supports access and recognition for contemporary artists worldwide. Foundwork provides a focused digital platform for emerging and mid-career artists to introduce their work to curators, gallerists and other collaborators across the field.
BNKR – current reflections on art and architecture
As the director of the artspace BNKR, a cultural engagement of Euroboden Architekturkultur, I had the opportunity - in close cooperation with Stefan F. Höglmaier, managing director and founder of Euroboden GmbH - to transform the bunker Ungererstraße in Munich into a place of artistic practice and cultural participation.
Artist Statement
Since my studies at the HfG Offenbach, art academy of the state of Hesse, I've been dealing with the media of painting, drawing and photography. While painting is the focus of my work, I consider drawing and photography as additional tools that inform my painting practice from their own perspective.
