My great-grandmother’s gloves are reflected in my art.

Their colors and shapes stood in stark contrast to the gray of the prefabricated apartment blocks.

They were a subtle link to another world.

And I am still searching.

I am a painter who grew up in the GDR (East Germany) with a Latvian mother and a German father. From an early age I experienced what it means to live between cultures and identities. This sense of being between worlds has shaped the way I perceive people, places, and myself.

My paintings explore inner states, memory, and the subtle boundaries between belonging and distance. I do not follow a particular school or trend; my work develops through a contemplative process in which color, line, and form become a language for emotional and psychological landscapes.

Through painting I try to make visible what is often difficult to express in words. My work reflects a personal search for connection and meaning, inviting viewers into a quiet space of reflection, stillness, and human complexity.
