I'm a visual artist and the focus of my work is painting. In the paintings I'd like to create a pictorial world that strives for figuration, but never clearly defines itself.

Artistic practice and working process


In 2018 I started to work on medium and large format canvas. The results are gestural, almost abstract paintings with sometimes thick, impasto application of paint as well as works that show greater detail through differently designed, graphic elements and thus suggest a figuration. Linear elements contrast with the painterly background and appear as simple signs that can condense into complex, three-dimensional structures.

I'm looking forward to working as 'Referentin der Präsidentin' at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich as of winter semester 2024/25. Since I've been dealing with the specific experiences and working conditions of artists for many years, I've long had the desire to get involved in the strategic development of teaching and artistic research and to support future-oriented university policy processes.

BNKR – current reflections on art and architecture

 

As the director of the artspace BNKR, a cultural engagement of Euroboden Architekturkultur, I had the opportunity - in close cooperation with Stefan F. Höglmaier, managing director and founder of Euroboden GmbH - to transform the bunker Ungererstraße in Munich into a place of artistic practice and cultural participation.

Artist Statement
Since my studies at the HfG Offenbach, art academy of the state of Hesse, I've been dealing with the media of painting, drawing and photography. While painting is the focus of my work, I consider drawing and photography as additional tools that inform my painting practice from their own perspective.
