Artist Statement:
My artistic work often begins with a moment in nature: a fleeting play of light, an unconscious glance at a plant that makes me pause, or a situation that moves me emotionally. Such moments remind me of how closely we are intertwined with our environment and nature — and how often we overlook and fail to appreciate this connection in everyday life.
In my paintings, I want to make this relationship visible. For me, art is a space where the perception of the things around us becomes conscious: a place that encourages reflection, allows for lightness, and at the same time challenges and critically questions. It can be playful and still hit deeply. It is precisely in this tension that, for me, an awareness arises that humans and nature do not exist separately, but form a shared structure that influences each other, belongs together, and above all can only exist in harmony in the long run.
I collect impressions and weave them into visual stories. Snippets of nature, concrete situations, and the interplay of colors between space, surfaces, and fragments form the basis of my work. Abstraction and figuration meet in them like two voices telling together what coexistence can look like — fragile, powerful, sometimes contradictory, but always connected. Each piece is an attempt to strengthen this connection and invite people to engage with the shared story of humans and nature.
My works have been exhibited in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and Switzerland and are part of numerous private collections. Oil painting, drawing, and printmaking are the mediums I use, either on paper or on canvas.
„Art reflects, confronts and amuses. It never floats in a vacuum. Human and nature a coexistence“ (Marion Pilz)
