This work is from the series dedicated to the amazing city of Berlin where I’ve been living for over the past 10 years.

This one is called „yes“. It signifies the times when I said yes to moving here and to my new life.

This round painting was inspired by Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin. To me this neighborhood is bohemian, hipster, filled with families, artists, great cafes and small oversized shops. Busy, colorful, interesting.

Prenzlauer Berg

Inspired by strength of Nature itself. Connecting, growing, developing, changing.

This painting is dynamic yet calm.

  
This original artwork has participated in the 2021 London Every Woman Biennial part of the sister show happening in New York City. In The Salon Exhibition MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE at the Copeland Gallery.

And then at the Discovery Art Fair Frankfurt, 2023\.

This large abstract painting is charged with passion and energy. You don't need coffee in the morning. Just look at those powerful brush strokes. It's exciting and beautiful with layers to explore.

This artwork was inspired by a beautiful drawing of Jacob wrestling the angel by Bonnat (1876).

"The futility of the struggle between the finite and the infinite, the poetic truth of the story, the pity of human strength madly wasting itself against the inevitable, the irresistible–the grandeur and the pathos of a struggle…"

In my original painting the angel is female, and you can't see Jacob's figure. The angel is surrounded by a myriad of elements that depicts clutter of our everyday lives. The angel is disintegrating, merging with all the elements.

A large 1 x 1 meter square contemporary painting on canvas with acrylics and wax pastels.

"The Moment When" is a captivating series of paintings that delves deep into the realm of emotions through the medium of still life. In this series, the artist embarks on a journey to process her own Emotional Residue that has led to her eating disorder, while simultaneously exploring her personal spiritual nourishment. Unlike traditional Dutch still life paintings, which often evoke a sense of meditative tranquility and abundance, "The Moment When" aims to capture a vibrant, dynamic, and emotional essence – a 'natur mobile' filled with tumultuous life.

  
Each painting in this series serves as a window into a specific emotional experience, not merely isolated feelings like grief or joy, but rather the artist's unique emotional cocktail. Through the meticulous arrangement of objects, colors, and compositions, these artworks become a visual symphony, inviting viewers to ponder the intricacies of the artist's psyche while reflecting on their own emotions.
