Since childhood I have always had the feeling the earth is a beautiful place, but that it could be much better. I am especially concerned by the exploitation of environment, people and animals. For the past ten years, my artwork has been inspired by my dream. In my paintings and drawings I depict a future world of sustainable cities and societies.

I am inspired by science and nature, mathematics, quantum mechanics, space travel, architecture and the circular economy. These Gaudi/Escher-like works arise with staggered perspectives, which take the viewer into their own dream.

I work in different layers, use chalk, paint and sometimes collage techniques. I consciously use a shifting and flexible perspective. You will find 2D and 3D in my work; sometimes there is space and sometimes not. You can enter my work in many ways. It adapts itself to the viewer. I choose my colours intuitively and to me they represent the place where the city is located lives of the inhabitants. I like to work with the principle of complementary colors, so that the color image is not flat and monotonous. I am aware of the striking light and therefore use matte, glossy and ionizing, thick and thin paint with opaque and transparent colours. When making my art, I try to pay attention to my materials as much as possible and not to waste or pollute. I work on handmade elephant dung paper and often reuse my old canvases or recycled materials.
