Resonance in colors

Each work is a decision – deliberate in theme, form and color.

In its uniqueness, it opens up spaces that go beyond the visible:

Spaces that give peace, develop clarity and release hidden powers


My abstract works move between strength and stillness,

between clarity and resonance –

and invite you to a dialog about the nature of intuition and emotion.

Series of works

“The works in my series combine moments of stillness with visions of strength and clarity.
Each series is its own resonance chamber – consciously decided in theme and form,
to touch beyond the obvious.

I invite you to discover these paths of intuition and concentration with me.

My abstract works move between strength and stillness,
between clarity and resonance –
and invite a dialog about the nature of intuition and emotion.”

Focused Meditation

This series arose from the moment of concentration – 

the pause between silence and clarity.


Every work is a conscious decision: 

Layer by layer, color condenses into a resonating space,
which provides calm and at the same time unfolds power.

The works invite you not to look for the essentials, 

but to let him find you.


Experience the works in the “Focused Meditation” series

in a virtual exhibition – 

curated, atmospheric and accessible at all times.

Landscape and Light

In this series, landscape and light become more than motifs – 

They open up spaces in which outer nature meets inner perception.

Each work condenses the moment in which silence reveals strength 

and light reveal the depth of the present.

 

This creates resonance spaces that enable transformation –

Moments of remembrance, of pause 

and the return to one’s own source of strength.

Virtual exhibition

Experience the works in the series 

“Landscape and Light”

Mystery of Time

This series is dedicated to the experience of time – 

not as a linear measure, but as a multi-layered space. 

Layering of color and structure 

make the past, present, future and eternity visible 

and open up resonating spaces of memory.


In their entirety 

the series will be presented in February 2026 in an exclusive vernissage
