I am a contemporary artist based in Berlin, working in the field of present-day contemporary painting, where I combine diverse painterly strategies with a clearly defined conceptual practice. My art develops from a consciously formed pictorial idea and pursues the aim of creating narrative visual spaces that enable dialogue, interpretation, and active engagement.
My paintings exist within the tension between realistic painting technique and conceptual painting, uniting precise observation with theatric staging and condensing atmosphere into complex visual worlds that may initially unsettle, yet after the overcoming of the initial shock unfold an unexpected familiarity. This openness is programmatic: my works of contemporary art are not fixed to a single reading, but emerge in the dialogue between artistic intention and the viewer’s individual perception, so that each encounter with my paintings evokes an active interpretative process. This dialogicity is central to my artistic practice, for the works are not intended to be understood as untouchable icons, remote and detached from human comprehension.
The perpetuum mobile of my artistic work is intertextuality, as my painting is in constant exchange with art history, literature, cultural image traditions, and established visual narratives. Yet it does not follow the currents of the contemporary zeitgeist; instead, it consciously connects to painterly traditions of previous centuries. Its contemporaneity arises from a modern mode of representation and a precise observation of our time, allowing the paintings to be read as documents of the present in the sense of chronism.
Moreover, my visual worlds move beyond the European context and incorporate international references, so that my painting becomes conceptually decentralised while simultaneously addressing an international audience.
