Going new ways with out care, only for me, is a great gift of art for me. I transpose emotions and memories from my dreams in pictures. Keeping the memory of a dream during the day and his transformation into a object is a challenge. Out of the reason of my remarkable imagination and in particular my intuition these both features of my personality are leading me to my completed works. I see in daydreams or in shadows of night invisible creatures or remarkable landscapes, which me appear. Paper is not just paper for me, I see it’s potential and in my other used materials too. During the day catches my eyes, receives my ears, feels my body and noticed my soul a certain feeling of marvelous or terrible discoverings similar like a seismograph. I process these discoverings to art works. I feel myself as artist successful, when I make at first chaos, and I create out of the chaos order. My self-realization reflects the topics of my life with the topics of my works. One of my intensions are, to provoce the observer to put him in a reflection with my artistic contents. Creating art allowes me free breath taking, I would be without art captured in my world of emotions and would suffocate and break down.
