“Internationale Kunst Akademie Heimbach”, Heimbach, Germany. 2010/2018
“Exploring and experimenting with the paper are two important aspects of my working process. The constant search and the effort to understand my impulses from within, my thoughts and feelings, and also my roots, feed this process in an essential way.
