Short statement:
In my paintings I create portraits of ordinary objects and contemporary scenes, trying to reveal the poetry inherent in the everyday. Amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life, these everyday objects often go unnoticed, yet they contain profound insights into our identity and behavior. With my art I want to highlight the absurdities we encounter in our daily routines, and offer a glimpse into the complexity of human existence.
My paintings are a reflection of the transience of life and reflect the fleeting pace at which we live. I look for chance moments, just like the chance encounters we experience in our daily lives.
I find inspiration in the everyday: from the pile of laundry waiting for attention to the decisions I spend my money on. My belongings serve as a reflection of my personal aesthetic while being annoying and inspiring at the same time. Just as the still lifes from the 16th and 17th centuries depicted wealth, success and prosperity, my paintings are a representation of the everyday life of a Young Woman in 2024.
