«My main focus is photography with extreme digital editing processing. This means that I am creating pictures and graphics from architectural, natural and abstract subjects with often surreal components. My favourite themes are front facades of modern buildings or parts of them, which I’m digitally editing and finally changing it into a futuristic digital creation.
At first I’ve always been fascinated by photos of skyscrapers or skylines of the world’s metropolises. Since I don’t have such motifs in my environment, I tried to make the motifs more impressive with digital image processing. In new housing estates or industrial areas in surrounding cities, I look for modern buildings, preferably with geometric structural or decorative elements. Then I photograph their facades or facade parts. At that point, I usually already have a rough idea of the final product. I then edit the motif several times and systematically with various digital editing programs.
In particular, that "normal" buildings can become something special and spectacular with a little imagination, just like with many things in life.
Above all, I want to show how the simple, often depressing and monotonous architecture can be transformed through image processing on photos in an imaginative and exciting way. This is how you get from the functional to the pure fantasy motif, almost like a motif from another, often friendlier building world, from which you can be inspired in many ways».
Her latest participations in group exhibitions were in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 in Germany, Swizerland, Italy, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Dubai, Japan, China, Spain, France, Sweden, USA and Hungary.
