"Much of my painting is about longing. As a child, I eagerly looked forward to the summer holidays from school, as this was the time I spent at my grandparents’ countryside home. Running through fields, watching storks, and chasing butterflies across meadows are the essence of those moments I remember so vividly — moments that gave me a sense of absolute, carefree freedom and the joy of being surrounded by nature. I often subconsciously paint landscapes that bring me back to those times. I see myself in them, as a child."

Each artwork is created entirely outdoors, directly in nature.

Painting en plein air is something more to me than simply creating — it is a personal experience, a moment in which I can fully immerse myself in nature; a unique kind of encounter. This is the form of painting in which I feel most at home, and the one I consider the truest and most aligned with myself. Paintings are sold unframed.
