Whispering Roots Series (2026)

the singing tree was waiting for me on the island of Xiamen between me and the sea

Encounters with the banyan tree – during my artistic residence in Xiamen, Fujian, China. From a unique thread, light and fragile, moving in the wind, to the interwoven roots building a new tree.
Vertical rhythms between me and the sea, the mountain, the sky, the city, the world. As a veil and curtain, dense or transparent, opening new spaces.

365 days series (2015-2025)

a fragment
as a fragment of life, of a day, of a life

365 paintings (30 x 100 cm each, acrylic on canvas).

To create an homage to every day.
Moments and fragments captured in my notebooks, reborn as colorful improvisations on canvas. As inner images, nourished by memory, poetry and art history.
In a further step in the work process I recompose the 365 days paintings within triptychs and polyptychs, exploring harmonies, dissonances, rhythms and contrasts. Moving between figuration and abstraction, presence and absence. Spaces in-between, out of focus, suggest inner spaces beyond the picture frame.
