I mainly aim to create in series. Wherefore the format is often directly set by the material I stumble upon - be it wooden boards from the bulky waste, plastic flowers from the flea market, etc..

I enjoy the dirty work for example using construction adhesive. To then end up painting the artworks in bright and tacky pastel wall colours. I do so to break with the material’s coarse character - I doll it up.

I feel comfortable in comparing the outcome to the Home-Improvement-Catalogue aesthetic.

Following this motive, some of the „(B)Engel“ paintings are on tacky wood chip wallpaper. In this series I focus on criticizing existing body image ideals and role models, while also glorify them in an imaginative way.
