I’m a visual artist living and working in Berlin. I create narrative patterns and illustrations that invite slow observation.
Research is an essential part of my process. Every project begins with exploring its context, gathering references, and developing a unique concept that can tell a story visually. I draw flowers from life, study historical sources, and immerse myself in the worlds I depict. If a project features a particular animal, I spend time observing its behaviour and learning about its habitat. This careful attention to detail helps me create patterns that feel alive and authentic.
I enjoy translating research, narratives, and cultural references into richly detailed visual worlds. Whether created for a book cover, a wallpaper collection, or a textile design, each project begins with the same goal: to create an image that rewards curiosity and reveals new details over time.

I believe that nature is the greatest artist and one of my most important sources of inspiration. I also draw inspiration from mythology, folklore, history, and cultural traditions. I am particularly interested in transformation and ambiguity, using visual metamorphoses and layered symbolism to create images that can be interpreted in different ways by different viewers.
