Artist Statement

I work across different media: from sculpture and oil painting to the integration of video elements and consistently limit myself to the two colors red and blue. While my forms of expression shift in dialogue with my themes, this reduced color world remains the connecting constant.

The starting point of my work is the interaction between radical introspection and the outward gaze. In recent years, I have concentrated on painting to give space to these processes, examining the friction between individual autonomy and systemic conditioning. Shaped by a queer-feminist perspective, my focus lies on the creeping effect of power structures that do not stop at external borders, but embed themselves deeply into the self-image, the body and perception. The choice of red is directly inspired by the Icelandic feminist protest movement Red Stockings, while the blue is added on a purely intuitive level.
 

My work is not an activist mandate, but my personal desire to expose reality beneath the layers of internalized systems and to understand looking closely as a radical act of self-assertion and lived solidarity.
