Berlin/Madrid
Always using her life events as inspiration for works she moved from traditional and representative painting to more abstract way of self expression deeply influenced by Abstract Expressionism. Artist focused on attempt to show destructive-creative duality of the image, her process involves collages-based studies from photographs, breaking the image and reassembling it with empty shapes that conquer their own meaning.
What is it about your studio space that inspires you?
I had a few studios already and each of them had something special and influenced my work. When I first have had a studio with very high ceiling suddenly my work increased in a size too, up to reach that ceiling, that was 5 m.
What sounds, scents and sights do you encounter while in your studio?
I enjoy silence, the shadows changing through the day and smell of the oil paint.
What is your favourite material to work with? How has your use of it evolved throughout your practice?
Oil paint and copper. With time I gained a confidence to work with big amount of paint on the surface. I enjoy the feeling when the painting start to be very heavy that is more proper to the sculpture. It's like working in between the concepts.
If you weren´t an artist, what would you be doing?
I don't know. Horse rider maybe or I would work in the post office somewhere in the dessert.
What are your favourite places besides your studio?
Hardware stores, metal workshops, it have to be something industrial.
