A German-born visual artist, I now live and work in the Luberon, following a journey that has taken me from Germany to Switzerland, Paris and the Loire region.
For me, painting, sculpture and installation are different ways of exploring our relationship to the world, to others and to the intimate. Colour, movement, writing and the white square form a language of my own, poised between energy and restraint, appearance and disappearance.
My work does not seek to provide answers, but rather to create a space in which the eye can linger, question and imagine.
My practice is built around an essential tension: revealing without fully disclosing.
I work through oppositions: colour and white, movement and structure, protection and revelation. It invites the viewer to look beyond what is immediately visible.
Painting, imagining sculptures or engaging with a space thus becomes a way of questioning our relationship to intimacy, to others, and to what we choose to reveal of ourselves.

In a world where intimacy is increasingly exposed and transparency seems to have become an imperative, I assert the need to preserve a hidden part of ourselves.
Through veiling, erasure and concealment, the Secrets series explores what we choose to reveal and what we prefer to withhold from view. Words emerge without ever giving everything away, leaving each person free to imagine what remains inaccessible.
Only what is hidden arouses desire.
Each work is accompanied by a sealed box containing the text I have written, concealed behind the white mesh. It is up to whoever owns the work to preserve the secret… or choose to reveal it.
In Revelations, I play with opposites: movement and structure, colour and white, abundance and silence, appearance and disappearance.
Colour emerges, overlaps and fragments, before the white sometimes comes to contain it, conceal it or hold it at a distance. The square, a recurring element in my work, structures this apparent disorder, becoming in turn a frame, a presence or an absence.
From the Classics to the Silent Works and the Emergences, the same enquiry remains: to reveal without fully disclosing, and to allow what seemed hidden to emerge.
