Painting Fliederbusch primary school
Together with artists Monika Radzewicz and Olena Legdolukh, I painted the interior walls of the primary school in Rudow, Berlin.
We were commissioned to use a specific style and decided to correspond to the existing walls colours for each floor. We created landscapes with animals for the desert (beige floor), jungles and forests (green floor), mountains and skies (blue floor).
In the stairwells, all animals are going up. At a later stage, single animals with landscapes will be placed in the corners of the building at each floor. This would make it easy for new pupils to find their class-rooms > your class is at the panda-bear mural.
In the main entrance hall at the groundfloor, a central mural will be created, where different animals come together at a small lake to drink and peacefully stay together.

Berlin, GermanyI like contradictions. Life is full of contradictions. Like yin and yang, my paintings combine these opposites into an overall picture. The rapid application of paint with the spray can and the pause when painting with the brush, the clearly outlined areas of the stencil technique stand next to the merging colors of oil painting. I need these contrasts, because sometimes this fire blazes in me and at the same time I also enjoy the stillness of slowness. All this energy is transferred to my works.
I like to tell stories in my paintings. My focus is on the stories and experiences that can shape and define a personality. The stories I choose and portray connect with the experiences of the viewer. It is an invitation to linger and reflect.
Thus, I capture a meditative mood in my paintings and create works that do not pass like a brief moment. Just like a view from the train window, past which the world rushes and turns on.
