Portfolio:

My portfolio

My mediums are oil paintings, drawings and print works. The images I use in my work are mostly based on self-made or collected photos combined with literature or self-made phrases. I use digital tools in order to layer text, photos and drawings and combine them to a new work. Photo and text based collages will often merge into drawings or watercolors and these are the starting point for my large scale oil paintings.
