Works on display
Sunflowers
2026This work is the second in a new series of three floral works on a canvas measuring 90 x 30 cm. It is oil paint. Sunflowers symbolize friendship, positivity, and loyalty. With its bright yellow bloom, the sunflower represents optimism and joie de vivre. Sunflowers (Helianthus) derive their name from the Greek ‘helios’ (sun) and ‘anthus’ (flower) and are known for their ability to follow the sun. They symbolize optimism, resilience, personal growth, and a tireless pursuit of positivity, despite setbacks.
DAFFODILS
2026This work is the first in a new series of three floral works on a canvas measuring 90 x 30 cm. It is oil paint. Daffodils. Daffodils symbolize renewal, inner growth, friendship, and spiritual reflection. Daffodils are often given as a sign of sincere friendship. Historically, the daffodil refers to the Greek mythological story of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection, which symbolizes a warning against vanity and self-obsession.
Iris Germanica IV
2026This painting is the last in the series of four Bearded Irises. The Bearded Iris is characterized by a hairy, often yellowish "beard" on the falls. Most species come from Europe. The three petals are often associated with wisdom, courage, and faith. I worked on this series with great pleasure and enjoyed the different shapes and colors that exist within a single type of flower.
Iris Germanica III
2026This is the third work from the Iris series, made in oil on canvas. The Bearded Iris stands out because of the complex and impressive shape of the flower and the special combination of colors. It is a bulbous plant. The dimensions of this work are 40x50 cm.
Iris Germanica II
2026This is the second work of new series of four paintings featuring the Bearded Iris, also called Iris Germanica. The painting is made in oil on canvas, the dimensions are 40x50 cm. The colors and charming shapes of the Iris inspired me to paint series; each Iris Germanica has its own appearance and colors, making it literally a jewel in the garden. This summer I also planted an Iris Germanica myself, and I am very curious to see what this flower will become and look like!
Iris Germanica I
2026This is the first work of a new series of paintings featuring the Bearded Iris, also known as the Iris Germanica. According to stories, the Iris was the Messenger of the Goddess Hera, who delivered messages from the rainbow in the sky to the earth and vice versa. This name does the flower justice, as it blooms in many colors. It is made in oil paint on canvas, and the dimensions are 40x50 cm.

Garden Party
2025I found the inspiration for this work in my own flower garden. Every year, it is a celebration of sowing seeds in the greenhouse, planting them out, and then watering, caring for, and enjoying the growth and all the beautiful flowers with great love and pleasure. Preferably native, organic, and sustainable. For the preservation of our beautiful world!
