I am a German non-binary artist from Munich working in digital and mixed media. My practice centers on the human figure, with a particular focus on queer presence, intimacy, vulnerability, and the emotional experience of moving through modern spaces.
my artistic vision
In my art, I explore the tension between the lonely anonymity of the metropolis and the fact that every single person is, at the same time, the radiant center of their own vast universe. We pass one another like shadows, yet within each of us burns an entire system of dreams, melancholy, and light. My work seeks the moment when these universes touch. Such a connection is not accidental — it is a choice. It requires the courage of total vulnerability, the willingness to lay down the mask beneath the harsh glow of neon light, in order to truly meet one another.
My art is for the restless, the queers, and the creatures of the night. It seeks to be an anchor, an invitation to radically claim one’s own freedom and to venture into a vertiginous openness.
There’s a crack in everything —
that’s how the light gets in.
— Leonard Cohen
Alongside my artistic practice, I work as a psychiatrist. This perspective informs my interest in authenticity, selfhood, and the psychological cost of living at a distance from oneself. My work does not seek perfection or performance, but emotional truth: the fragile, luminous moments in which a person becomes visible to themselves and to others.
my workflow
My visual language is shaped by digital painting, but I am equally interested in material presence. Hand-embellished surfaces, reflective elements, and tactile interventions allow me to move an image beyond the digital and into something more physical, unstable, and alive.
My artworks emerge where life presses hardest:
on regional trains, between the routines of clinical work and family life.
Digital painting on the iPad is not a compromise for me, but a victory.
A medication-induced tremor has turned what was once a steady hand into a challenge; technology becomes a prosthesis of my mind. Digital stroke stabilization allows me to channel the raw, dynamic energy of my inner world with precision. It is a daily act of self-assertion against my own biology — an act of freedom that permits no excuses.
Fluorescence: I overpaint surfaces with neon colors and iridescent pigments, creating a light that cannot be captured digitally, a radiance that pushes beyond the edges of the canvas.
Imperfections: Be it slight creases in the foil or uneven opacity of a stamp — I always choose organic over flawless.
Structure: Heavy acrylic paste gives the work a bodily depth. One can feel the resistance, the grooves, and the presence of the material.
