This particular painting has had a deeply healing impact on me. Painting „Plus jamais ça“ („Never again“) brought up a lot of pain to the surface which I had tried to keep buried inside of me for a long time. After painting my previous painting „Souffrance“...

„Souffrance“ („Suffering“) is another painting that helped me access some deep emotions and make truly visible that not everything in my life was light and love but also darkness and pain. I avoided feeling a lot of my own pain for a long time and kept „busy“ instead,...

The following five paintings are at the heart of my Healer painting series. As I wrote in my blog post Painting and Healing, the five paintings below revealed consciously to me how healing (my) art could be. I started them between the traditional Christmas break of...
