“I am fascinated with form and function and love the weird and wonderful, that can be found in every organism. I usually paint larger than life, working with my binocular microscope to capture details, hidden to the naked eye. I love strong colours and contrasts and try to depict my subjects as realistically as possible.

I hope that I can share my fascination with the natural world and that my paintings motivate others, to have a closer look at the world surrounding us. It always reveals little wonders!”
