A SLIP-THROUGH IN REALITY

My paintings are visions from the True World.

I permanently ask myself what a situation actually means – and my paintings are my answer. My figures are hybrids between belonging and dissolution, between what one is and what one thinks to be. Some of them are part of an entirely different world, an older, timeless world that is beautiful and terrible and always there, whether one perceives it or not.

I paint what lives beneath the surface – before we began to know.

DAS SCHLUPFLOCH IN DER WIRKLICHKEIT

Meine Bilder sind Visionen aus der Echten Welt.

Ich stelle mir permanent die Frage, was eine Situation eigentlich bedeutet – und meine Bilder sind meine Antwort.

Meine Figuren sind Hybride zwischen Zugehörigkeit und Auflösung, zwischen dem was man ist und dem was man denkt zu sein. Einige von ihnen sind Teil einer ganz anderen Welt, einer älteren, zeitlosen Welt, die schön und schrecklich und immer da ist, ob man sie wahrnimmt oder nicht.

Ich male, was unter der Oberfläche lebt – bevor wir anfingen zu wissen.

PRESS

“The dreamlike pictures include areas of near-photographic realism, but also sections where the image seems to melt — more in the manner of Gerhard Richter’s photo-derived blurs than Salvador Dali’s drippy surrealism.”

Mark Jenkins, Washington Post

“The works in which she tells of her own family history are particularly emotional and incisive.”

 

Elisa Krooß, Westdeutsche Zeitung

“Her paintings narrate of light and movement, of time and space. Reality melts into a fluid dance of impressions, infinity and timelessness.”

 

Conversations in Culture, Delegation of the European Union to the United States

“Large-scale oil paintings perched on the boundary between photorealism and surrealism — her strongest works are almost cinematic.”
 

Louise Jacobson, Washington City Paper
