Painting is my life companion. It's always there, that reassures me.
I let myself be touched by image or light, by colour or form. From there a painting grows. My feeling determines which colours I choose, the strength of the brush strokes. I shape my inner world in colour and depth: from sadness over emotion to intense happiness. In my paintings you read me.
At the same time my work transcends my individual feeling. I find it magical that people are touched and come to their own feelings by a painting of my hand. Exhibiting and selling a work creates solidarity.
Besides myself and others, painting also connects me with the essence of life. Painting is breathing. I can't live without it.
