A meeting with the work, with me, and with the studio animals.
Some works cannot be fully read through a screen.
They ask for proximity, for time, calm, and attention.
In my studio, I invite you to experience the work in person.
Not as a sales moment, but as an encounter. With the material, the stories, and the place where the work comes into being.
What you will find here
A studio visit is not a guided tour in the classical sense. It is a moment of alignment.
–You see original works in different phases: finished, resting, searching
–Experience material and working environment — oil, acrylic, layers, traces
–You hear the stories and symbolism behind series and motifs
–There is space for questions, simply experiencing, and reflection
Sometimes recognition is immediate. However, sometimes a work needs time, and is allowed to remain where it is.
Who is a studio visit for?
A studio visit may suit you if you:
- Are looking for art with meaning, depth, and a distinct hand
- Want to understand where a work comes from, not only how it looks
- Are considering acquiring a work, but first want to feel whether it resonates
- Collect from intuition rather than impulse
No prior knowledge is required. Only attention.
The conversation
— We take our time – No fixed route, no fixed script.
Sometimes we speak about symbolism and process.
Sometimes about space, light, or why a work is deliberately not finished.
And sometimes we simply let the work speak.
A studio visit usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes.
Acquisition & trust
If a work moves you, we explore what is possible.
Availability, size, context, price, clear and without pressure.
A work may also stay where it is.
Trust does not arise from speed, but from careful looking.

STUDIO animals
In my studio in our living area, we're surrounded by our animal friends, cats, dogs and chickens. Moreover, besides my own studio, my husband and I have an outdoor studio and workshop, where our chickens Francesca, Caramel, Dior, and rooster Piep greet us daily. All photos shown are from the painting studio and its context.
