Artist Statement

How I work is influenced by my past work as an actress and director. My unwavering interest in developing myself personally and the insights from that are of great importance to my work.
My work is an inner conversation with universal interfaces. I am inspired by movements, shapes and colors appearing in nature, and by the connection, these aspects of nature make with experiences, feelings and the little things of daily life. In my art I try to elevate all this in an universal experienceable, not observable reality. I combine pieces of all mentioned elements in a new context, a world of its own, the composition of my work. This results in abstract landscapes or a total abstract artwork. I want to express a poetic point of view; not directly comprehensible, speaking from the experience, presenting an ambience, though still leading somewhere. My work reflects tension and harmony in the individual and between the world around, the power of imperfection, but also the beauty of life and nature. Since April 2020 I have been working on integrating geometric spaces and shapes in my work with sharp edges and lines. Nowadays, it has become a part of my way of working.
