What is it about your studio space that inspires you?
I find joy diving into my own world.
What sounds, scents and sights do you encounter while in your studio?
I use song titles as names for my exhibits or work: „Sounds of silence“, „Bonny and Clyde“ by Serge Gainsbourg, or „Secret Garden“ by Madonna are examples of this. Also, Felix Pawlas, Karin Missy Paule and I were in a band that called itself „Project Chanson“. We covered songs that touched me deeply and we had a few concerts.

Paper and scissor.
What themes do you pursue?
Drawing and space.
What advice has had the biggest impact on your career?
Advice given to me by my professor Werner Büttner : „Make your weaknesses into your strength“.
If you could only have one piece of art in your life, what would it be?
The „Hagia Sophia“ in Istanbul.
If you weren´t an artist, what would you be doing?
A singer.
