Statement – About Me

Life has been kind to me and given me precious things.
These include, above all, my sense of color and form – one could even call it talent – as well as the freedom and opportunities to express myself artistically.
Furthermore, I have a curiosity that constantly leads me to try new things.
For this, I feel deep gratitude.
