ABOUT
(c) 2021
I am a visual artist working across mostly drawing, painting and printmaking based in Vienna, Austria. At the core of my practice lies a philosophical exploration of the intricate relationship between humans and their environment.
My work blends uncanny yet dreamlike imagery with titles that hint at the often political origins of each piece. By doing so, I invite viewers to navigate the complexities of contemporary social issues and reflect on the contradictions within their own perspectives.
My aesthetic language weaves together elements of speculative fiction, personal narrative, and sociopolitical critique. Whether through large-scale wall paintings, intimate prints, or immersive installations, my work moves between fragility, resistance, and the poetic potential of the unresolved. Through my artistic practice, I understand art as a space for active questioning and subtle transformation.
