I am not keen on mirroring things (be it objects of the real world, humankind or even nature). I am interested in authentic and new forms. Believing I am not “there” yet and knowing that this is a journey, I trust the flow and let it do the job itself. Meanwhile, if my creations make at least one human smile and a bit happier – it was worth it. 

Since my early years I was closely involved in music and literature, both of which still play a crucial role in my life. Music evokes visual stories in my head, while words have the power to describe things that are otherwise not depictable. Due to my interest in the diversity of the world, different cultures and mentalities, I also studied Indology/South Asian studies.

A BA in graphic/communication design allowed me to successfully work as a graphic designer for 13 years (last 5 years as a freelancer). Due to my love for paper, I especially appreciate working on print (book, publication, etc.) projects, but I also happily engage in branding, events and digital design. However, with time passing by, an urge to walk (and share) my own artistic path is steadily growing, to the point now where creating “velvet saturdays art studio” seemed an inevitable action. 

It is all about the journey, and not the destination. Thus, I am very much looking forward in seeing what tomorrow will bring.
