My work is very emotional, sensual, intimate and long-lasting. This is why I prefers oil paint because it allows me to go and come back. Through my work, I feel free and at the same time handcuffed. That is why it is so difficult to say goodbye to my works.
My works reflect the individuality that lives in me. Art professor Bushof from the Interart Gallery calls it multifrenic. Both me and my works. This diversity is my blessing and my curse. But so it’s me, a thinker, a seeker.
Part of this multifrenia is my appetite to experience new things and to experiment with new means. I think my imagination seems limitless. When asked if I am afraid that one day I will not know what else to paint, I replie, “If I had the time to paint anything that comes to my head, it would take at least five lives to do that. The problem is deciding what I want to paint in this life.

As artist and as a person I have gone several ways, artistic intellectual, several countries, several languages, which brought me back to the origin and which influence my art today.

Born in Lima, Peru. Abitur in Germany. Master’s degree in political science and Romance philology from Heidelberg University. One year studying art history in Paris. Stays in Brussels, Munich, Berlin and Freiburg, etc. Enthusiastic athlete. Experience in vegan nutrition coaching.
My place of birth (Lima-Peru), connected with the place (in Baden-Württemberg) where I was socialized, other places where I lived when I was young, and the people I met make up and shape mine Art. Feeling comfortable everywhere but feeling at home nowhere e creates a conflict in me from which I try to free myself through my art.
My art is about Weltschmerz and my interior is as imprecise as myself.
I deal with the accepted and artificially invented “normality” in our society and would like to persuade people to question it.
My work is multiphren like myself and has sometime a touch of constructivism. My works are determined by beauty but also by hypocrisy in our society. The Weltschmerz I constantly feel does not go and just comes out of me through my pictures. On the other hand, it calms me to experience aesthetics and to shape them, because it repeatedly ensures that I have some peace of mind.
