In my work I show you my inner world.

In my paintings, I give you a glimpse into my mind. Loneliness, fear and trauma are recurring themes in my work. In the arts, I find a way to turn my saddest experiences into something universal, that is touching as well. 

  

Searching for metaphores, I often depict landscapes in which something is odd. Recurring elements are a little hospital bed, brutalistic buildings and abandoned places.

 

The images I have in my mind, just need to come out. Sometimes in the shape of a series of paintings. And sometimes the fragmented memories come together in a polyptych with countless little impressions.
