Artist Statement
“I create abstract pieces in mixed media, digital visual art and experimental forms of media arts. I am drawn to the idea of discovery, finding patterns and surprises in artworks and using techniques and materials in ways they were not intended to use. A common theme in my work is relationship, it may be relationship of shapes and colors or of abstracted bodies in different settings. Coming from a graphic design background, my compositions and use of textures are rooted in structural thinking rather than painterly approaches.”
Education
Master of Fine Arts & PHD in Cultural Studies form the University of APPLIED ARTS, VIENNA
