Statement

One central aim of my artistic work is to expand drawing. I detach the static image from the paper format and try to shift the drawing from the two-dimensional surface into space and expand it in the direction of sculpture and movement.

For me, drawings are something alive. Every drawing that I produce is not fixed, but more like a snapshot from a dynamic process. I want to make this dynamic visible within my drawings, which is why I combine them with animated films. I draw with light reflections, shadow lines, follow traces of movement, use the dynamics of liquids, gravity or growth movements to create images. They are, so to speak, „drawings by natural forces", and I approach them in digital and manual paintings, works on paper and video installations.

I am not the drawer, the designer of these lines, but rather the physical forces of nature, which work according to physical laws. They are pictures drawn by nature itself! Nature as a „drawing hand", the artist takes on the role of the receiver rather than the designer or actor.

And I am not primarily interested in the external appearance of the objects, but in the behavior and interactions of the components – in other words, the movement!
