“When I started my first journal I had a very clear idea, just like I was used

to. I have an idea, and I think it through and finish it in my head, without any actual drawing. Only

once everything is done in my head, I realize this final sketch from the idea in my head. So actually I never really changed anything except looking at some details. I was completely fixed

and limited to this one idea.“

“This is how it works: She lies in this cloud, with the thoughts surrounding her, like in a bed, almost buried - I also thought it is as if she were diving into this cloud.

It's like breaking the surface of the water from above. And doing this, you dive into a totally different world,

which makes your thoughts weave into each other, so you are away from our normal world, making some sort

of a transition.“ (excerpt from interview)

“At the beginning I found it rather difficult... well, first I liked the idea, and I was a bit confused. Because

really it's just, I copied but it's not, it hasn't moved me, in any case. So I said to myself now I've copied it

faithfully but somehow something's missing, somehow the emotions aren't quite present.” (excerpt from interview)

The facial expression carries emotions to the outside

world and transforms energy into movement, often failing to communicate the intensity

of these emotions. Every face is linked to a mood.

> making internal feelings visible:

visible waves of mood each face has a colour that

matches the mood, for example rose-tinted glasses.

“What I wanted to do was to emphasize the feelings that are in there with colour and the stroke of the brush. The pencil sketches lack vivacity. The photos too. I studied Arnulf Rainer's pictures, for example, who works a lot with the brush strokes and through them reinforces feelings, and that's what I wanted to use in my pictures.” (excerpt from interview)
