I approach painting as a receptive practice, working by intuition and in a state of flow — allowing form and color to emerge rather than imposing predetermined ideas. I'm interested in how this way of working allows for opening and expansiveness.
I also make photographs of images projected onto my body, and stage photographs with painting remnants. These images investigate the relationship between the body and the painted surface, the body and nature, the body and the painting as a symbolic act – unravelling like characters in a psycho-drama.
This practice started with my Velocity series (1998) where I projected images of my mother’s paintings onto my body, and continued with my Amden series (2003), where I painted my body and wandered through the mountains of Switzerland. More recently, I projected my own paintings onto my body and photographed these scenes.
In my recent painting series titled Portals (2025), the body is implied, both with the making of the work and the experience of the viewer. The images are intended to activate energy fields within and surrounding the body.
These practices are an investigation into what makes us human and how painting/visual imagery activates our perception and personal power.
