Where the Journey Goes: Light like an Inner Tone

Where the journey goes – this question has accompanied me for a long time. Every beginning, whether a journey, a new project, a new idea, is always a departure into the unknown. Where will the path lead me? What obstacles, what beauties, what encounters await me? And how will I react to them?

In my works, I like to take nature and landscapes as a synonym for life itself. Nature has the power to strengthen, nourish, and heal us. In it, we can recharge, pause, and draw the energy we need for our journey. Often, when I am completely with myself, I feel how this feeling transforms into color – how a silent resonance space between outside and inside arises.

I work with silk and glass – both transparent, permeable to the light that exists behind everything. This light is for me like an inner tone, a vibration that dwells in everything. Perhaps that is why Beethoven's music touches me so much: It seeks the invisible, transforms darkness into sound, pain into movement, silence into light. His work was also a departure – a listening into what lies beyond the visible and audible.

This is how I understand my own work as well. I call my pictures Soul Landscapes : Places of breath, spaces for inner movement. They invite you to immerse and linger, just as Beethoven's late piano sonatas lead the listener into a state of listening where time no longer matters.

My Picture “Where the Journey Goes” (120 x 90cm) I primed on silk - glued the painted, transparent silk onto canvas and glazed it with acrylic paint. Then I applied colored silk, fine structures and blossoms, set accents of glass. The white of the primed canvas shines through, like a memory of what remains open.
