My process of painting is about allowing the subconscious to express. I tend to seek the raw and instinctive path. The human figure with its gestures, human emotion and relationships is my strongest inspiration. Working as a dancer and therapist refined my perception of physical expression, sensing the emotion and the potential behind movements and gestures. I also draw a lot of inspiration from nature.

Born in Hamburg/Germany, raised in Spain and Germany, I first studied graphic design, then went to voice and theatre school. Extensive performance studies, as well as Butoh dance and Contact Improvisation. After some years of performing, I eventually became a dance therapist

From 2015 to 2018 I studied art at FIU Free International University in Hamburg, Germany. FIU was founded by students of Joseph Beuys.

Further studies with Markus Lüpertz and Jens Hasenberg.

I am living between Hamburg/Germany and Ticino/Switzerland.
