About What I am working on What I keep coming back to

Artist Statement

„i am a painter, writer, femboy, musician and clubkid living between Bern and Zürich. i am interested in whats around me, the memories, gifts, dreams, relationships and spirits. i study and transfer this co-dependency, and there is enough, always and forever, ready to be added together, telling a story. i absorb it and take it even further into myself, before i transfer it to a medium. My work is about how i live my life, how i behave and what crosses my path.”
