What I’m Working On

I have always been fascinated by organic shapes, which is why Jugendstil and Art Nouveau inspire me so much. These styles appeared around the turn of the 20th century — Jugendstil in Germany and Austria, Art Nouveau in France and Belgium.

Both take their inspiration from nature and flowing lines, aiming to create a total work of art: unifying fine and applied arts. Jugendstil tends to be more structured and geometric, while Art Nouveau is more decorative and curvaceous.

One of my favorite artists from that era is Alfons Mucha, a Czech painter and designer (1860–1939) whose graceful lines, organic patterns and distinctive range of colors inspire my current work.

It starts with the flow of lines, the guiding paths that give the painting its initial structure. From there, I will gradually add layers of color and texture, letting the work evolve naturally. What you see now is just the beginning, a framework— the finished piece will grow and transform into something quite different, revealing its full character over time.

Looking for Exhibition Spaces

I am currently looking for opportunities to exhibit my artworks in Berlin and the surrounding areas. If you know someone, who has a gallery, cultural space or any venue where art could be shown, I would be truly grateful to hear from you! Any suggestions or connections are warmly welcomed, as I’m really excited about the chance to bring my work to new people and places.
