Q: Tell us a bit how your interest in art develop?

A: I had the luck to grow up with a mum who always was very creative. She worked in theater and did paintings in oil. So painting and drawing have been around me as part of my natural environment. When I was around 20 I decided that paint and drawing is something I wanted to develop more with real focus.

Q: What are some of the highlights of your life as an artist so far?

A: I must say that the highlight so far has been meeting some of my best friends and while exploring ceramics!

Q: If you could spend the day with any artist, past or present, who would it be?

A: Louise Bourgeois for sure! I Love her work and the energy she did put into her work. How she made the personal universal and the way she explored different materials. Her work never leaves me untouched.

Q: Can you tell us a bit about your creative process?

A: My process often starts very intuitive. Maybe I want to try a new material and take it from there. But while in the process I often think in series and that is where a narrative is born. I try to stay open to the process as long as I can until I feel a balance and rythm.

Q: Do you think there were other roads you could have taken, other than art? If so, what are they?

A: Yes! Before my art studies I really thought (and sometimes still do) that I wanted to be a psychologist or anthropologist. I think its very fascinating exploring behaviors, languages and the ways we communicate.
