The "Window of hope" series grew from the artist's reflections on the approaching new year. Each year, across every continent, people exchange wishes for safety, happiness, and prosperity. Yet, none of us can truly predict what the future holds. Still, we hope—hope that life will be kind to us and to those we hold dear. And hope, regardless of faith or belief, is universal. It’s the quiet force that sustains us, urging us to keep moving forward. To the artist, hope is like a window. It frames the future, letting in light even when the view is unclear. It gives us energy to live, to love, to create, to laugh, and to share.
Through this series, the artist wanted to capture the feeling of being somewhat anxious about life's unpredictability, yet carried forward by hope—a resilient strength that pushes us onward, no matter what challenges we face at a point in time.

The faces and stories on my portrait paintings are all me and my doubts in the end. Sometimes imbalanced, imperfect, provocative and boycotting, but always sincere and inviting a re-thinking and compassion. My art is triggered by essential topics in anyone's life, like relationships, the meaning of own life, beliefs and religion, parenthood, death...
For me, making art is a way to connect to this world and to the souls of those who question the same things as I do. It is also the means of personal therapy and an own language to speak out.
I love working with monochrome palettes and rougher, uneven surfaces. I normally pre-texture my canvases or use wood panels as a base. To me, a bit of the unsmooth and irregular reflect my personality as an artist and add to the atmosphere I want to convey in a painting.
