ARTIST STATEMENT

“I strive to create intimate experiences for the viewer to participate and become part of the artwork. I want to give people this amazing live immersion that combines architecture, light, video, scent, sound and most important the viewer’s own inner universe.”

My focus is to invite people to become part of the artwork and create a participatory felt experience. I am interested in the feelings and inner world of the audience. How to make feelings visible and how does the audience experience this? My mission is to connect people through culture in all of its multidisciplinary forms and to create ground-breaking innovation in art and site specific immersive experiences. My installations are precious spaces, “Gesamtkunstwerke” that invite the audience to engage in memorable and transformative experiences and to ask deeper questions about life, living and fundamental values. I want to connect all ages and generations with my art, without a constraining sense of time. In my installations, I offer a new perspective and frame of perception for the viewer to connect with their deeper feelings and experiences. Combining cutting edge technology, with the philosophy of forging links between art, fashion and design is my guiding path. A diverse training over the past decade has allowed me to build immersive art installations such as BREATH ing HEART and THE FACE WITHIN as a multidisciplinary effort that engages all of the senses and includes the audience. I invite the visitors to take a seat, to perceive their bodies and emotions, to allow all existence and to step back. A touch.

“I set a point, no question mark, no exclamation mark. One point.”
“It‘s about giving up conditioning, looking behind the scenes. What is there?.”
