My practice as a painter spans a diverse range of media, including works in glass, in the marbling technique, but also performances and installations. Defined by a collaborative approach, and by understanding painting as a medium of exchange, I chose to share my practice with artist colleagues such as Adele Röder (DAS INSTITUT, since 2007), Debo Eilers (KAYA, since 2010), and Ei and Tomoo Arakawa (UNITED BROTHERS, since 2011), with all of whom I have widely exhibited. In addition, in 2017/18, I have been teaching as a guest professor for painting at the Art Academy in Hamburg, Germany, which resulted in a workshop with my students as part of the collaborative project KAYA in Naples, Italy.
