STATEMENT
Surrounded by colors, my clothes full of paint, that’s me!Painting is my biggest love, except for my Family, of course. Being an artist is my calling, art is what I’m living for. It’s so liberating, making a mess while firing the paint to my big white canvas. When I walk into my studio, I smell the colors, my spray paint and my incense sticks. I love watching the sun shine through my big windows, feel the warmth. While walking along the streets in our village, I get inspired by the people I met, the man with the trenchcoat, this woman with her flowers and this funny dog. I need this for my work. Creating, and especially processing my impressions fills me up with energy and power. And even this energy I’m giving back to my work. I want to take this feeling into homes. Reminding, to be strong and follow own goals!
