About my art
and about me
Art lets you put your life on pause.
You stop doing what you just did and focus on the artwork.
With my pictures I want to offer you a short trip, a trip to a place, a situation or maybe a memory –
to laugh, cry, think about.
Why do I want to offer a pause?
Stress full situations are everywhere - challenging jobs, traffic jams, climate changes, wars… Often, we are unable to avoid or control them.
How resilient we are to stress is a very complex mechanism, depending on factors like genes, sex, age and environment. Most of them we can’t regulate.
But the good news is there is one important factor which we can control.
It’s stress coping.
Scientists showed that a stressful situation is much easier to manage for people with good coping strategies.
So, let’s do some coping. Let’s enjoy art.
Yes, art is a very effective stress coping strategy.
Why do I know so much about stress coping?
I am not just an artist I am also a scientist.
When I left school, I first studied biology. Ten years, a Dr. title
and a couple scientific publications later, I started my art career.
Today I combining science and art.
What technique do I use?
I combine ink drawings (dots, stippling)
with digital image elements (pixel)
in such a way that the pictures perfectly merge together.
The audience has the illusion of being almost completely drawn into a dream.
I call this technique Pixel & Dot.
