My work begins with attention. A moment of light, a texture, a subtle tension in the air - something catches and holds me, and I follow it into the painting. The process starts not with a fixed plan, but with curiosity and response.

Born into a German–Italian family, I grew up between two cultures, two languages, and two ways of seeing the world. I also spent part of my childhood on the island of Elba in Tuscany, surrounded by sea, sun, and open horizons. That early experience of light, landscape, and elemental beauty continues to live in my work, along with a lasting longing for travel and tropical places, where color, atmosphere, and distance become almost tangible. Seeing palm trees in Los Angeles, where I lived for five years, also deeply influenced my visual language and sense of atmosphere.

That dual perspective—north and south, structure and sensuality - continues to shape my work. The precision and order often associated with the north meet the warmth, spontaneity, and light of the south, creating a visual dialogue that unfolds across the surface.

I trained at art school and have spent much of my life in Munich, a city that values art and gives space to beauty without apology. As the mother of four sons, I learned early that attention is both a discipline and a gift. Observing, listening, and responding have become central not only to life but also to my artistic practice.

My journey as an artist began with ink, drawn to its immediacy, precision, and expressive potential. Over time, I expanded into watercolor, exploring transparency, movement, and the interaction between pigment and paper. Today, my work has evolved into large-scale acrylic paintings on linen. This shift in scale and material has opened new possibilities: broader gestures, greater physicality, and a more immersive relationship between image and viewer. Linen offers both resistance and freedom, allowing layers of color, texture, and energy to emerge through the painting process.

They invite the viewer to enter, to pause, and to discover what reveals itself over time. Series such as Spuren der Zeit trace the marks that time leaves on surfaces and within us. Out of Water explores emergence and transformation - the moment something crosses a threshold. Undone Explosion embraces the paradox that destruction and beauty can exist within the same gesture.

Each work captures a particular moment of seeing, feeling, and responding. While the subjects may vary, the impulse remains the same: to transform what catches my eye into something new.

I live and work in Munich. The work travels further. I think of palm trees and flora as evoking something akin to Rilke’s poetry - where landscape becomes memory, and presence becomes atmosphere.
