My interest in creating has always been there, but I discovered fiber art only after a long journey of trial and error in several other artistic practices. Art and creativity were very present throughout my childhood. My mother used to be an abstract painter, and I always admired her for it.
Wanting to follow in her footsteps, I applied to study abstract painting at the University of Arts in Vienna, but I was not accepted. This setback led me to study History of Art, and later Interior Architecture—both of which deepened my interest in art and design. One of the most important lessons I took from studying History of Art was that everything is inspired by something; nothing is created entirely out of nothing.
During my twenties, I had the opportunity to travel extensively around the world, which I consider one of the most valuable forms of education. These journeys have shaped the way I see the world and the people around me, and they have also guided me toward the life I want to live.
Freedom, as well as the idea of home, are central themes for me—topics I continue to explore through my art practice.
freedom
Our minds are constantly occupied with outer distractions. The mind gets cluttered with informations and distractions. It seems like everyone wants our attention. Being in a constant state of activeness brings the energy outwards and away from ourselves. Nowadays it's a privilege to have time to simply be and know oneself.
The art I create is non-figurative and non-objective, allowing the viewer complete freedom in their experience. There is no specific object being suggested—only a composition of colors and forms that evoke a feeling. Without something defined to recognise or interpret, the mind can slow down, rest, and simply be at peace.
home
My art often draws inspiration from the places I’ve visited. Traveling has shaped who I am today, and I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to have seen so many parts of the world. It can bring tremendous joy, yet being far from home can also feel lonely and create a sense of disconnection.
The materials I work with carry a natural warmth—softness, comfort, and a sense of calm. For me, these qualities represent home: a place where I can let my guard down and simply be myself.
The coldness that can sometimes accompany travel is balanced by the warmth of the materials I use. In this way, the subject and the medium complement one another, creating a sense of harmony and steadiness.
