“I feel strongly that the things we collect/buy/accumulate throughout our lives can often be representations of memories or events that are important to us. I think that we also gravitate towards things that “speak to us”, things that are relatable and that we subconsciously choose to represent us.”

Fine Arts, Oil

I am an artist born in Germany, living and working in Staffordshire, United Kingdom. Within my artwork, I use oil painting to explore matters of the heart, focusing primarily on the connections between material culture and identity. I am interested in how personal possessions can contribute to our identity, and sense of self, and how our identity can manifest within our possessions. I aim to combine still-life and portraiture utilising a colourful and distorted painting style to invoke feelings of nostalgia tangled with unease. In my artwork, I aim to follow my obsessions, sharing my experiences with anyone willing to listen, hoping to speak to their souls.
