Originally from cologne, germany, I now live on the island of Kauaʻi, where i observe how ocean, rainforest, and SPIRITS of plants weave together into a daily mystery. it seems that every moment feels much more alive than at any other place i’ve lived. the boundaries between worlds seem thinner here.
I began painting for myself, as a way to process my intensely visual dreams. I wanted to capture the landscapes of my dream world on paper, like a journal, but expressed through paint. Almost immediately I fell in love with watercolor. Its fluidity, its unpredictability, its organic movement mirrors the world of dreams perfectly. you never quite control where the color will flow, just as you never fully control the currents of a dream.

Living here on Kauaʻi, I feel especially close to this dream world. The landscape itself inspires me constantly, guiding me to explore new themes and the big questions that arise in life. Each painting becomes a reflection of this ongoing journey. a spiritual landscape born from both the island around me and the inner landscapes of my imagination. Through my art, I invite viewers to wander these worlds with me, to explore the spaces where dreams meet reality (or what we consider reality..;), and to awaken what still sleeps within…to remind you of the quiet magic that surrounds and lives within us all. My art is a reflection of the island, of the unseen currents of life, and of the endless conversation between the heart and the world it inhabits.

Over time, I began to realize that this dream world was not something distant or abstract, but something I had slowly lost connection to myself. Growing up in a fast-moving, performance-driven society, I learned as many of us do to value productivity, control, and rationality over intuition, slowness, and inner listening. Returning to this inner landscape through the inspiration of hawaii felt like a quiet act of remembrance.

In this sense, my work is not only personal, but deeply connected to a collective experience. Many of us are increasingly disconnected from our inner worlds and the natural rhythms that once guided us. Through these spiritual landscapes, I seek to create spaces of reconnection, places where dreaming is a form of knowledge and where the unseen is given room to exist again. My paintings are invitations to remember that beneath the noise of modern life, another world is always present, waiting to be felt.
