Archive

The archive brings together further works from different phases of my work and offers a deeper insight into the development of my painting.

At its centre are the interplay of colour, light and space and an engagement with memory, silence and human perception.

Through layering, condensation and open pictorial structures, compositions emerge that resist a single reading and leave room for individual feelings and associations.
