Quote

“As the name suggests, the visual artist is based on creating and creating. There are many approaches to how something is shaped and thus made visible. I find my access to my preferred materials marble, clay and bronze through images from the inside that form within me. It is mainly about emotional states that I translate into my sculptures. This inner perception often shows up in people who appear fantastic. The focus is always on the mood they are supposed to convey and the feeling they trigger in the viewer. Representing the complexity of an emotional world is an almost impossible task. Fragments and excerpts of a complex whole invite to be thought further, felt further and integrated into the viewer's own world as a new, complete whole. "
