In my studio it literally feels as if I am floating on a cloud. I look out over the roofs and treetops and the clouds, it is light & quiet, there is a soft breeze coming in through the open windows, the bamboo is whispering... Painting and creating, inspired by what is in my head, from my inner depths, what I feel, what I see, intuitive and capturing the spirit of free-flowing, it is a very happy process. To me my paintings and collages are feeling like quiet & happy places, a space for the mind to be still, to rest, and calm for the eyes.  

I love to work with antique linen book covers, natural dyed linen, found paper and old sunbleached paper. I paint with self-made brushes and Japanese brushes, love the intuitive & unpolished brushstrokes and the imperfections. Playing with layers & transparency, always open to the unexpected and seeking the balance between finished and unfinished. Through my paintings and collages, I am creating my own poetic positive dreamworld

I gather all materials on the ground and leave them to sit for a while, staring at the paintings, turning them upside down, trying to finish it in my mind before i make the last brushstrokes.. or not yet.Nature, female faces and nudes are a great source of inspiration for me.
