Meine Werke spielen mit den Identitäten der abgebildeten Personen. Durch einen Mix aus figurativem, realistischen und abstraktem Stil ermögliche ich den Blick hinter die Kulisse des Gesichtes eines Menschen, hinein in die Gefühle und Persönlichkeit - die Identität. Ich versuche sichtbar zu machen, was beim äußeren Betrachten von Menschen nicht wahrnehmbar ist.
Bleib informiert!
auf Instagram informiere ich über aktuelle Neuerungen und gewähre Einblicke hinter die Kulissen.
Little reminder: smoking kills ❤️🩹
I’m 100% non-smoker btw but love the mataphorical meaning of cigarettes, especially in combination with this song. When I saw the picture on Pinterest I had to paint it 📸
Symbolic meaning:
Throughout the ages, the cigarette has symbolized freedom and youth, pleasure and relaxation, luxury and rebellion, as well as individuality, and is still used in films to symbolize these characteristics.
Since the 1970s, cigarettes have increasingly been seen as harmful to health and have come to symbolize transience and death. Lighting up a cigarette is therefore seen as a conscious decision to shorten life, which can carry a melancholy or gloomy meaning, especially if your cigarette is lit by another person… 🚬🖤
Welcome to my *inside my scetchbook* series. 🧡
Those who know my art know that I usually paint on large canvases. The artworks I create on the canvases often follow a certain concept in which I work on a specific theme. Lately, however, I’ve felt more and more like „just painting“ - pictures that I happen to see and simply find beautiful, interesting or instructive. I felt like painting with color again and encountering new challenges. 🙇🏽♀️
In this photo, I particularly liked the green/orange color scheme. Let’s see what ends up in my sketchbook in the near future. 💆🏽♀️
💆🏽♀️ I have a love/hate relationship with painting the background because on the one hand it’s the last step before you finally see the finished painting, and on the other hand it’s the least challenging part of the process, which is why I often get bored. Nevertheless, looking at it afterwards is definitely satisfying. 🎧🤍
I have called this painting ‚falling apart‘. Although at first glance it looks as if the two will reach each other, they will not. If you look closely, you can see that they are falling in opposite directions (Turn your phone upside down). They will never actually touch.
The hands are stretched out one after the other. The hand movement is inspired by Michelangelo’s ‚The Creation of Adam‘ (one of my favorite paintings). Fun fact: I had the image section of the hands as my screen background for years, long before this painting was created.

A little reminder to never stop trying to get better at what you do. ✍🏼
These two paintings were actually just meant as a little exercise but I ended up liking them which is why I decided to finish them. I practiced painting hands (you never feel like you can do it 🫱🏽🫲🏼) and sun on skin in black and white.🐼
How to paint fabrics:
1. See which part of the fabric is in the light and which is in the shadow. Use a lighter color as a base for the part in the light and a darker color for the part in the shade.
2. Blend the two colors together. The transition does not have to be perfect.
3. Add highlights with an even lighter shade and blend. Light color highlights, you define the folds of the fabric that stand out. You can repeat the process as many times as you like until you achieve the plasticity you want.
4. Create depth by darkening the areas in the shadows.
Tip: Use a photo template for the first attempts. You can observe the shape of the fabric folds and the lighting conditions. 👩🏽🎨🎨
