My artistic work thrives on a tension: the precision from my training as a glass and porcelain painter meets a spontaneous, gestural painting style. This attitude also accompanies me on the international stage.

In 2023, I was invited for the first time to exhibit a painting at an international exhibition in South Korea. Three years later, it became more: in 2026, I am not only participating again as an artist but have also been invited as a jury member, selecting artists for participation myself.

An international exhibition on Geoje

The exhibition takes place at the Haegeumgang Theme Museum on Geoje Island in South Korea. From October 1 to December 25, 2026, the museum will showcase works by more than 400 artists from around the world – precisely this international exchange makes the exhibition particularly exciting for me.

My selection: diverse artists, diverse styles

In my selection, diversity of styles and perspectives was particularly important to me. I have chosen nine artists:

• Alex Ochkal
• Annamarie Heinz
• Gulnara Heinz
• Hanna Dujmović
• Wladimir Heinz
• Svitlana Nestiurina
• Natascha Fel
• Susanne Schorr
• Star Smart

My own work: "The Invitation"

This year, I am also represented with my own work: "The Invitation", 120 × 80 cm, acrylic on canvas, 2026 – one of my personal favorites.

At its center is a figure with wide-open arms, surrounded by a dynamic world of colors and shadows – precisely constructed and at the same time broken up by spontaneous, gestural elements, just like in almost all of my works. In her hand, she holds a puppet, a reference to masks and the roles we play in life.

This year, I was personally invited to South Korea. For organizational reasons, I will not be making the journey myself – my artistic presence there, as an artist and as a jury member, remains unaffected. From Germany to South Korea – perhaps only the beginning of an even longer artistic journey.
