The Artistic Journey

From the Bavarian Idyll to Mediterranean Valencia

Krumbach Swabia: Where Stories Begin

I grew up in the idyllic small town of Krumbach in Bavaria, helped earthworms cross the street, and made friends with pet owners. My childhood was characterized by a lively imagination: I invented stories, developed games, and created puzzle books. Although I initially dreamed of a career as a writer, I discovered an equally strong passion for foreign languages and mathematics at school. At the age of 15, I decided to train as a bank clerk, but aspired to a more creative profession and completed part-time training as a hair and make-up artist in Munich.

Munich Creative Scene:

The Foundation of Artistic Expression

At the age of 22, I took the plunge into self-employment and moved to Munich, the pulsating heart of the German creative scene. I worked on film sets, at fashion shows, and with photographers. As a lecturer, I passed on my extensive know-how to aspiring make-up artists and hairstylists.

Airbrushing is simply wonderful. The paint is applied in a fine spray mist and the color gradients are fluid.

My specialization in airbrush techniques in 2015 led to assignments in Berlin, Düsseldorf, and many other German cities. I traveled particularly often in southern Germany, characterized by its idyllic mountain panorama, as a bridal stylist.

From Valencia to Kalkar on the Lower Rhine

Skip the Make-up

A fascination with Spain drew me to Valencia, where I lived with a host family and immediately fell in love with the city's life-affirming ambiance. During this time, I met my partner and moved with him to the Lower Rhine. In Kalkar, I began experimenting with an airbrush on metal scraps and created abstract, colorful work of art.

The positive response encouraged me in my decision to further develop my artistic abilities.

Valencia: A New Home and endless Inspiration

Taking Art Seriously

Eventually, my partner and I returned to Spain. In Valencia, inspired by the light and beauty of the coastal city, I completely dedicated myself to art.

I decided to enroll in the one-year Mastery Program of the Milan Art Institute to refine my techniques and deepen my understanding of art.

An Artist Bringing Color to the World

My positive and curious nature is clearly reflected in my art, with vibrant color combinations as imaginative as my childhood stories and games. My deep love for animals and enthusiasm for nature are reflected in every one of my artworks.

My art is an invitation to view the world with curiosity, to stimulate profound conversations, to appreciate the interdependence with nature and lifelong learning.

How a Hole Became a Turning Point

My environmental awareness was awakened early on. As early as ten years old, I was prompted by a children's program about the ozone hole to reflect on the problem, and launched an environmental campaign. I distributed hundreds of hand-drawn notes with the earth and a black hole to sensitize passersby to environmental protection. This early commitment is a red line that runs through my life.

But Why, Actually...?

As a young adult, I questioned my habits with each new piece of information. It was the small steps that counted - changes that I gradually integrated into my daily life. So, I began buying fruits and vegetables seasonally and without plastic packaging.

I immersed myself in the topics of nutrition and sustainability, chose my vendors more carefully, and began to shop more consciously in general.

Instead of making spontaneous purchases, I preferred to take a few days to think things over. Especially with fashion, I developed a more minimalist approach: I defined my color type and style, and put together a well-thought-out capsule wardrobe.

Allowing Ourselves to Be Who We Are

We are all individuals and may act and decide according to our own values. We just need to take the time.

In a world of information overload that often seems impenetrable, it is more important than ever to take time for ourselves instead of constantly letting others "inspire" us.

These are small changes for the individual, but consider: How many people in your surroundings can you inspire? How many live in your town, your state, and throughout your country?

Yes, we can make a difference!
