Mixed Media Welten, die inspirieren

Silent Messengers are animal species that are endangered or on the brink of extinction, yet deeply inspiring. With this series, I don’t want to evoke sadness, but to portray these animals in a powerful way and raise awareness for them. Our world is so beautiful—and it’s worth protecting.

At the same time, these animals are also a symbol of never giving up on yourself and discovering your own inner strength. Each animal represents a particular quality that you can recognize within yourself as well. I have blended each animal with its environment in a slightly different way to highlight how deeply they are connected to their natural habitat.

Boundaries usually only arise in our heads when we tell ourselves what is not possible. But instead of continuing to work on "eliminating" these limits, in this series I would rather invite you to explore what is possible beyond inner limitations such as fears or doubts.

Discover a world in which you have broken free from fixed patterns and where everything is open and free! "Limitless" is inspired by the Art Deco style, which features many elegant and symmetrical patterns and is essentially about exploration and modern times. In some areas of the pictures I use familiar patterns from Art Deco, only to let them fade into the abstract in other places, which stands for "breaking out" of familiar patterns.

"Spells" is a collection of empowering phrases that I used to create one spell per painting. As I didn't want to simply write a sentence on the canvas, I created a symbol from each of the sentences (inspired by Sigils, magical signs). The symbol is accompanied by one or more animals and possibly a person that fit in thematically.

Visually, this series plays with contrasts between transparent, colorful figures and a mostly neutral, opaque background, some of which has been treated with textured paste.

"Alchemy" unites opposites, such as contrasting states, seasons or symbols, each in one picture. Through the contrast, I want to give you the message: There is always more than just "black" OR "white". Everything exists side by side and it is always your choice what you focus on.

Turn pain into strength, hopelessness into confidence and excessive demands into clarity. The female figures and animals depicted in the picture remind you to become your own inner alchemist. You already have within you exactly what you need right now.

"Mythology" revives old legends of gods and heroes and gives them a new lease of life. Because the myths are still alive today. In you, in us and in society.

I want to inspire you to find your own superpowers instead of just attributing them to the heroes and gods of the past. I combine the goddesses and heroines that I paint together with spirit animals with modern elements such as spray paint / graffiti style, collage and colorful ink to make them more tangible as symbols for people today.

The oil paints I use in my art also help to give the figures a lively character, which here and there almost looks as if they are coming out of the canvas and inviting you into their magical world.

The spirit animal portraits are designed to encourage you to connect with your inner desires, strengths and talents. Animals carry such wonderful symbolism and each animal has a different message.

I don't see the term "spirit animals" in a narrow, shamanic sense, but rather that we can simply be inspired by animals. This means that if you repeatedly encounter an animal or have a particular fascination for it, it is worth asking yourself what this animal means to you individually and what qualities it reminds you of that you perhaps carry within yourself.

My spirit animal paintings connect you with this symbolic power and are designed so that you can draw meaning from them for yourself. But also a Set of spirit animal cards in which I link possible interpretations and messages of individual spirit animals with my paintings.
