I create emotional landscape paintings. They can be abstract, semi-abstract or surreal. Regardless of the medium, all my paintings have one thing in common: they convey to the viewer the feelings experienced when in that place.

Between The Waves – Mixed Media Painting

34 x 44 cm

My latest artwork, Between the Waves, captures the quiet rhythm of the ocean — a moment suspended between movement and stillness. The layered blues and flowing textures invite the viewer to drift inward, evoking a sense of calm, reflection, and emotional depth. Through its sculptural surface and the interplay of light and shadow, the piece mirrors the fluidity of human emotion. It invites you to pause, breathe, and lose yourself in the soothing pulse of the sea.

My Artworks

Volcano (Landscape)

The Volcano (Landscape) series brings together mixed-media paintings that capture the elemental power and symbolism of volcanic landscapes. Characteristic features include heavily textured surfaces, bright, glowing red tones contrasting with earthy and dark layers of color, and sculptural reliefs reminiscent of cooled lava, ash, and erupting craters. The works oscillate between abstraction and landscape depiction: lava flows, volcanic cones, and eruptive forms emerge and simultaneously appear to be swallowed up by the material. Consistent throughout is the use of intense materiality and dramatic color, capturing the moment of permanent transformation. Thus, the series reveals the ambivalence of volcanoes—destruction and renewal, threat and creative energy.

Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea series brings together mixed-media paintings that capture the changing moods of the Baltic Sea. Characteristic is the combination of intense color layers, textured surfaces, and the incorporation of natural materials such as stones and sand. The works oscillate between abstraction and landscape impression: ocean currents, coastlines, and geological forms appear to emerge and disappear into the painting’s surface. The consistent use of texture and relief lends each painting a tactile depth. The result is a series that allows the Baltic Sea to be experienced as a vibrant space full of movement, contrasts, and mysterious transitions.

Scotts

The Scotts series is inspired by a journey through Scotland, during which countless photographs of landscapes, mountains, and coastlines were taken. The paintings capture the characteristic colors and textures of these landscapes—from earthy browns and rich greens to deep blues and contrasting whites. All works are designed in mixed media and combine painterly surfaces with highly textured surfaces and incorporated natural materials. This creates relief-like compositions in which colors and forms flow into one another, bringing the raw, powerful atmosphere of Scottish nature to life. The series shares the idea of not merely depicting landscapes but reinterpreting them as a tactile, sensual experience.

Putbus

The Putbus series is a homage to the white princely town of Putbus on Rügen. It brings the city’s neoclassical architecture into an artistic dialogue with the colors and structures of the palace gardens. Abstract and semi-abstract mixed media works merge nature and architecture and open up new perspectives on the special atmosphere of this city.

Ocean´ s Secrets

The Ocean’s Secrets series explores the mysterious depths of the underwater world. The mixed-media paintings combine complex shades of blue with relief-like structures reminiscent of currents, sediments, and hidden formations of the seabed. Characteristic is the interplay of tactile surface and color depth, creating the impression of diving into the hidden layers of the ocean. Subtle details such as stones or mineral textures reinforce the impression of a secret, unexplored world. Together, the series conveys an atmosphere of mystery and tranquility—a homage to the hidden secrets of the sea.

Desert

The Desert series is dedicated to the intense colors and textures of the desert. The mixed-media paintings utilize warm yellow, orange, and red tones, reminiscent of dazzling sunlight, heat, and shifting dunes. They are characterized by relief-like surfaces, incorporated natural materials, and fine cracks that evoke the texture of sand and stone. The dynamic nature of the compositions conveys movement and, at the same time, a quiet expanse—the tension between hostile harshness and fascinating beauty. Together, the works depict the desert as a place of extremes, full of energy yet meditative tranquility.

Usedom

The Usedom series is an artistic homage to the beaches of the Baltic Sea island of the same name. All works depict views of the Baltic Sea – sometimes in vibrant movement, sometimes in tranquil expanse, always characterized by the interplay of light, sky, and water. Mixed-media techniques create relief-like structures that vividly emphasize the breaking waves, the fine sand, and the dynamic cloud formations. Thus, the paintings not only have a visual impact but also unfold a palpable depth. Each work captures a different mood on the Baltic Sea – from the colorful evening light and the powerful spray of the waves to quiet, almost meditative moments on the beach.

Arctic

The Arctic series combines mixed-media and oil paintings that visualize the fragile beauty of the Arctic and, at the same time, its threat posed by climate change. Characteristic are high-contrast color fields of white, blue, and black, depicting ice, water, and melting glaciers. The works combine painterly depth with richly textured surfaces that reveal cracks, fractures, and processes of dissolution. A consistent theme is the tension between the majestic clarity of the Arctic landscape and the traces of its destruction. Thus, the series addresses not only the aesthetic fascination of the Arctic, but also its fragility—as an artistic reflection on the consequences of climate change.

Vineta

The Vineta series is inspired by the legend of the sunken golden city of Vineta in the Baltic Sea. The paintings combine abstract and surrealist imagery with relief-like structures and incorporated materials such as fabrics, shells, and glass. Characteristic are the luminous contrasts of gold, blue, and violet, evoking the sparkle of a sunken city beneath the sea’s surface. Folded fabrics, textured surfaces, and three-dimensional elements create an almost sculptural effect, in which the mysterious and mythical nature of the legend becomes tangible. Together, the series conveys the impression of a sunken, yet constantly resurfacing world—an artistic interplay between reality and legend, between the depths of the sea and an imaginary cityscape.
