Artist Statement
Under my brand name Transparente WELTEN®, I dedicate myself to interdisciplinary art research that dissolves the boundaries between tradition and modernity.
By blending traditional glass craftsmanship with genres such as painting, graphic art, photography, film and performance, I create multimedia objects and installations characterized by transparency and lightness. A symbiosis of glass, light and movement.
My commitment to ecological sustainability is reflected in my practice of working outdoors and using natural materials.
As a networker, I operate at the intersection of social practice and site-specific installation, transforming historical events into the present moment through monumental, in-situ installations.
My art—rooted in the fleeting moment—transports the audience into worlds of fantasy, the unfamiliar and the past; worlds where time seems to stand still and everything is bathed in a hazy, ethereal glow.
