Q.Your portraits often feature strong and dynamic female
characters. What drives this thematic choice, and how do you
hope your depictions contribute to broader conversations
about empowerment and representation in the art world?
My early career was marked by sexual assaults and harassment.
As a rather quiet personality, I was not taken seriously by my
male superiors. My skills, despite my qualifications, played no
significant role. Since I eventually began to feel exactly as I was
treated, I wanted to express in some way that I also possess
strength. The characters I created took on a kind of role model
function for me. It’s difficult to say whether I hope this leads to a
discussion in the art world, as I am simply sharing my journey in
the search for myself.
Q.The intersection of art and technology is ever-evolving.
How do you navigate the rapidly changing landscape of digital
art tools, and what technological advancements have had
the most significant impact on your creative process?
I think the biggest impact for me was the Procreate drawing app
that became available for the iPad a few years ago. Until then,
there were no good drawing apps for the iPad, and the better
ones like Photoshop were not yet available for it. And then, of
course, there are well-known artist no-gos like Midjourney,
Dall-E, or other AI tools. I’ve tried these apps, but I’m still not
sure if and how these tools could support me. Sure, they can
make the work easier or take it over completely, but where is the
dopamine hit when you don’t achieve anything yourself?
