About me

Watercolor painting is my home, and always a new challenge. Here, moods find immediate expression: meditative and intuitive. My work is based on a freely interpreted figuration without ever going into detail. I am particularly interested in the topic of reduction: leaving out the insignificant in favor of concentrating on the essential. My strong connection to nature is reflected in the choice of themes.
