Michigan Sun

The Michigan Sun series, created shortly after my move from Germany to Michigan. The sun here has a particularly soft, glowing light that immediately touched me. The colors in the painting reflect that first impression: the bright center symbolizes a new beginning, while the softly blended edges and deeper tones capture the feeling of transition between two places and atmospheres.

Day Dreams

The idea was born from my desire to capture moments of weightlessness: Those brief seconds when thoughts rise like tiny bubbles and dissolve into soft pastel tones. The series "Day Dreams" is my attempt to make these fleeting dreams visible. More artworks from this series will follow.

Love Letter

Who says a love letter must be written on paper? Sometimes, all it takes is a whisper of color, a gentle quote, a silent moment on canvas and the heart begins to speak. My art series Love Letter is just that: A letter not read, but felt. Bold hues, soft gradients - like love itself: sometimes loud, sometimes tender. Each piece carries a small message, a quote that lingers. Not tucked away in envelopes, but open, visible and lasting. Because love deserves to be seen. Every day. Again and again.
