In my artistic work, expressive areas and dynamic lines play together to find an abstraction out of nature. In this process, I look for organic forms and structures to translate them into colours, lines and unique compositions. Through this method of creation, the viewer discovers rooms of colour. Thus, the process of painting becomes the subject of my artistic work. Striving that the process of creating and developing remains clear, is an important aspect of my painting process that leads to the final artwork. At the end, a new reality is born. The colours and structures touch on feelings of the viewer who will find individual ways of seeing and enjoying it.
