Here you will find an overview of my artistic practice, sorted by series.
Several of the featured artworks can be purchased directly via the website shop - the close up photos and detailed description are already added there.
Another part of my artworks are on sale through galleries - you can find them in the section Links+News.
I will be glad to send you close ups and videos on request.
If you haven't found anything that touched your heart or have a special wish, you can order a commission.
Series "Observing"
In this series, the ocean is shown as a living being. Big, deep, hiding another life and beautiful. The "Observing" series is a search for one's own soul through interaction with the most powerful element, not subject to technological changes, external factors, powerful and sincere. I continue this series, and as I look more and more at the ocean, my works increase in size: I see more and more details, harmonious combinations and features. And I assume that the viewer will "read" my paintings also carefully in order to enjoy all the nuances.
Series "Interacting"
This series shows my personal intimate relationship with the ocean and its psychological impact. I come to the sea in times of despair, pain, emptiness, tiredness, anxiety – it takes me in its arms, takes me as I am and fills me with life. The sea, seen as a symbol for the unconsciousness by C. G. Jung, helps me with self reflection, self discovery and self healing.
Series "Future Sea"
Series of coral paintings in inverted colours, depicting a negative scenario: due to global warming, we may lose coral reefs as we know them today. The painting’s true colouration can only be accessed through a negative filter or camera application, preventing direct perception and prompting the viewer to engage with a possible future mode of remembering lost species through technological mediation. This emerging project seeks to raise awareness and sensitise viewers to ecological challenges, particularly the impact of climate change on coral reef systems and their risk of extinction.
Series "Thalasso
“Thalasso” takes its name from the German term for thalassotherapy, a therapeutic approach rooted in the healing properties of the sea. Today, we are overwhelmed by an overflow of information —fragmented, contradictory, and incomplete, turning our consciousness into chaos and disrupting inner calm.
Seeking to create a sanctuary, “Thalasso” offers a refuge where visitors can pause, find stillness, and reconnect with their authentic selves. This immersive, non-digital exhibition shall be a place of peace, encouraging a sense of renewal.
The exhibition features:
- three-dimensional hanging of realistic oil paintings with underwater motives (walls and ceiling)
- dimmed lighting and lamps with underwater light effects
- sound recordings from underwater (own recordings from diving)
- room scent with sea smell (own creation)
- comfortable furniture for sitting and relaxing to achieve muscle relaxation.
The underwater world remains one of the few environments largely untouched by human interference, where one can experience a release from informational overload and the relief of sensory reduction.
Across many cultures and religions, water represents life, energy, and spiritual renewal. On an individual, ontogenetic level, water is also deeply significant as the first element we encounter in the amniotic fluid, evoking a primal sense of safety and comfort.
On a scientific level, “Thalasso” is inspired by the Blue Mind Theory, which explores the positive effects of blue spaces and aquatic environments on human well-being and mental health. This theory suggests that connection to water can promote relaxation, improve mood, and foster a state of calm.
Series "Storytelling"
The story of the journey of boats or buoys on the surface of the ocean. The collision of a large element and a fragile object that can slide on the waves and not harm itself. A metaphorical description of our life, in which we move from one wave to another, gliding on the surface of this reality.
Series "Interlacing"
Series showing the deep connection between nature and humans. The artistic research is focused on overlaps of features which can be found in the human body as well as in natural phenomena, especially the sea.
We be of one blood, thou and I
Sound installation
Seashells, loudspeakers, audio file, each 25 cm length, 2026
The sound installation “We be of one blood, thou and I” invites the viewer to experience the soundscape of the sea—recalling childhood memories of listening into a shell and hearing the rush of the waves. One of the shells plays back the actual sound of surf, while the other emits an audio recording of a pulsed-wave Doppler signal measuring blood flow velocity in the artist’s venous system. The resemblance between the two sounds illustrates the human connection to nature through the shared element of water, as well as the fluidity of the boundaries between the two.
Series "Including"
Artworks which physically include sea or ocean water
Series "Corals"
Linocut prints with thermochromic paint.
The corals of the Red Sea are known for their remarkable resistance to rising sea temperatures, but global warming remains a significant threat. During summer of 2024 the water temperature of the Red Sea was around 35-36 °C, causing massive coral bleaching.
To highlight this issue I used thermochromic paints for the corals, which reacts to heat by bleaching at temperatures above 31°, with the change fully reversible.
The project aims to support the RED SEA PROJECT™, an International non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and conservation of marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
