Hand made with love
The scent of old wood and dust still lingers in my memory, a memory of my childhood room each Summer. It was the 90s in south Germany and a riot of color in my dad's childhood home– walls swathed in a bold 70s flowery wallpaper.
Sunlight, filtering through the lace curtains, danced on the faded rug, illuminating the collection of vintage toys that once belonged to my dad and grandma.
It was the boldness of the walls and art prints for me. Vibrant, mischievous and fun creatures were my friends, companions in my adventures.
As I drifted off to sleep in my pine wood twin bed, the flowers on the wallpaper would unfurl, their petals whispering secrets. And the friends from the art prints? They would join me in my dreams.
That room, with its vibrant chaos and the magic it held, shaped my childhood. It was a world of wonder, where reality blurred with fantasy. Now, as an artist, I strive to recreate that sense of wonder in my work. I want to bring the magic of those childhood memories to the children of today, to fill their worlds with vibrant colors, fantastical creatures, and the joy of their limitless imagination.
To magical childhood memories, cheers!
