"For me, art is the expression of joy, energy, and vibrant being."

Paintings can touch, awaken, soothe, or inspire.
They bring depth, wonder, and connection – revealing what wants to be seen in the moment.
I feel deep gratitude that through my art I can evoke these experiences in others.
What moves me most is when someone discovers their painting –
that moment of resonance, when they feel and recognize the image as something deeply their own.
That is why I paint.

Since autumn 2016, I have been painting intuitively and autodidactically,
working mainly with acrylics, which allow for spontaneity, movement, and vivid color.
Since the summer of 2020, I have been working as an independent artist,
today living and creating on the island of Corfu, Greece.

The impulse to paint came to me during meditation –
a clear, inner calling that I simply followed.
Painting has since become a form of connection,
a practice of listening, feeling, and being fully present in the moment.

My works emerge intuitively – without sketches or preconceptions.
I trust the vision and the process; the painting knows what it wants to become.
Each brushstroke leads to the next, each color calls for another.
In this flow, I often feel that I am not painting the picture –
the picture is painting itself through me.

I draw inspiration from nature, from silence, movement, emotion, and everyday life –
from everything that touches the senses and the soul.
My artistic focus lies in the energy and resonance of color –
in the interplay between intensity and stillness, between surface and depth.

With my paintings, I wish to open spaces of resonance –
moments in which viewers can recognize themselves within the work.
I believe that in simplicity lies great strength, clarity, and truth.
Reduction is therefore an essential element in my art –
it allows space for what truly matters,
for what vibrates between the colors and beyond the visible.
