My painting practice is strongly influenced by the iconic mountains of my home town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The mountains that appear in many of my works symbolize not only physical barriers, but also mental and emotional boundaries, which manifested themselves more strongly for me during the Corona pandemic. In my "Candy Mountains" series, I use strong, almost sweet-looking colors that are intended to deceive the first glance. They give the impression of light-heartedness and optimism, but contrast with a deeper, almost oppressive meaning.

These monumental landscapes symbolize not only isolation, but also the inner turmoil of our modern society. In my art, I combine elements of alpine expressionism with a pop-cultural aesthetic that alludes to the superficiality of our visual consumer culture.

My performance art begins where painting leaves the physical world and enters the space, the body. I not only paint the human skin, but also the environment in which the person finds themselves. Through the combination of body, space and color, I create living works of art that adapt to the flood of digital images and at the same time rebel against them.

The staging becomes a three-dimensional moment that is returned to two-dimensionality through photography - and yet a piece of originality remains in the transience when I paint over the resulting images with color. This constant transformation between original and reproduction reflects my artistic attempt to dissolve the boundaries between the digital and the analog. My works pose the question of how we find our way in a world of permanent visual overstimulation and how we locate ourselves in it.

In my series "Bilderflut", I criticize the overwhelming effect of consumption and digital stimuli. The painted bodies become projection surfaces on which social emptiness and abundance are reflected in equal measure. At the same time, I create a fusion of man and nature in my performances by integrating people into their surroundings, making them almost invisible - a kind of camouflage that dissolves the separation between the individual and the environment.my art is about transformation and the search for authenticity in an increasingly artificial world. Whether on canvas or on the living body, I question existing norms of perception and challenge people to seek beauty not in perfection, but in depth and complexity.
