Love to paint landscapes and flowers ‘en plein air’, outdoors. The sun is going, clouds are moving, animals are flying around… Love the process of observing, listening, the brush strokes, and mixing the colors.

Painting landscapes is a beautiful thing for your eye to travel through. It’s more then just painting the scene, I really want to feel it through painting.

When I paint, I feel it and I get into it.

Landscape and flower paintings are bringing the peace of nature into our homes and calm our souls, and inspire you to live a life connected with nature.

I walk home across the rice-fields, green emerald rice fields. The grassy blades whispering, swaying in the gentle breeze. Let us walk once again through the innocent charm of the paddy fields. Hiding ourselves in this cocoon of simplicity. Emerald green fields.

“When life gives you lemons…” I love this proverbial phrase. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life while making lemonade out of it is turning them into something positive and desirable.

Dreaming. Embracing the quiet of the night before the day begins.

Following the light. Embracing every part of the journey listening and learning. Sometimes the story unfolds different, but that doesn’t mean less beautiful…

Trusting the process. Free to try again, appreciating the unexpected.

So much passion. Open heart seeing more, my feet on the ground.

Stillness reminds me this present moment. My mind and harmony with my heart embracing the stillness Loving embrace.

This painting was created during summer in a luscious garden with beautiful wildflowers.

Die Sonne geht auf,
und der Morgentau enthüllt seine Magie.
Glitzernde Tautropfen
schmücken die Erde mit den Juwelen der Natur.
Ein Moment der Reinheit und Verjüngung.
Halten Sie inne, besinnen Sie sich,
und schätzen Sie die Schönheit der Welt.

Ich liebe den frühen Morgentau auf den Blumen und Feldern, die mein Zuhause umgeben. Berührt von den ersten Sonnenstrahlen, glänzen sie so hell und schaffen eine magische Atmosphäre.

Morning dew. Mirror the magical starlight to bless our day after a peaceful night. Morning dew. In the first chill of morning light like tiny pearls upon the leaves. They make mornings a bliss…

I love watching the sunrise over the mountains. The sky coloured in all shades of pink before the sun starts to show. The mountains glowing and looking so magical.

“Nongkrong” – in Indonesian language “relaxing & hanging out with friends”. At the time I was a student in Indonesia. We sat together with friends having coffee and talking. “Nongkrong” is all about the pleasures of sharing time with friends.

Female faces are always a big inspiration to me. I enjoy especially drawing the eyes and this is what I start with. It is the most difficult part of the painting but also the most exciting to find out her expression, her character while drawing.

Palmier - the leaf of a king palm tree. 

The first time I saw a palm tree, I immediately fell in love with their shape and form, which is why I included it also in my logo tinystories.

This artwork is all about my love to be in nature, embracing the sweet moments of doing nothing.

Love to paint on old bookpaper and old faded paper, painting with japanese brushes and twigs, using thin layers of ink & paint. Old paper sucks up the ink and paint quickly, giving the paintings an open and transparent look. After a few hours the ink and paint begins to spread a bit, blurring previously sharp lines, and figures become distorted, love this mysterious and dreamy feeling.

It was around sunset when I wandered through the streets of a small village in India, where time seemed to have stood still. A herd of buffaloes made their way home from the fields, their heavy steps kicking up dust in the golden light. Women were busy cooking, baking chapati over an open fire, while others returned from the fields, balancing bundles of firewood on their heads. Children laughed and played in the street.

Three women stood together, watching me with curious eyes. They smiled and gestured for me to come closer.  “Where are you from?” they asked, in a mix of English and hand gestures. They invited me to join them for chai. Once we were inside, they removed their headscarves, just us women among ourselves, it was so lovely.

As we sat together, sipping our tea, I made a few sketches to capture the moment. This portrait, ‘Rising Sun’, is a tribute to that lovely unforgettable encounter, a memory of warmth, connection, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.

“Sakura” means “cherry blossom”. Derived from the Japanese word “Saku” which means to bloom or smile. I love the tiny delicate pink flowers produced by cherry blossom trees. Beautiful flowers with a beautiful meaning as the Sakura blossoms represent a time of renewal and optimism.

I painted this artwork with natural pigments from Roussillon which have been used since prehistoric times for the walls of the caves. In 1780, Jean Etienne Astier from the village of Roussilion discovered after processing ochre became an inalterable and non-toxic dye. Walking the Ochre trail was a magical experience where I visited this small village and bought the paint. Back in my atelier I created this artwork.
