Ronja

My paintings condense lived experiences, emotions, and memories that suggest more than they explain. Women in various emotional states and situations are central to my work – with a particular emphasis on anger, an emotion women are often taught to suppress from an early age. In my work, anger is given space: as a reaction to social pressure, as a legitimate force of womanhood – quiet or assertive.

My figures move between staged presentation and inner reality. They ask what it means to be visible today – and reveal what often remains hidden.

Ronja sits casually on the floor, smoking.
The colors are bold and play with strong contrasts. The format was important to me as well – the painting extends deliberately in width. The viewer can create their own story behind the figure.
