Lost in Translation: Why I Write in English Despite Being German (With a Dash of Spanish Flavor)
You’d think with German precision and Spanish passion, I’d be writing in one of those languages—but nope, here I am, typing away in English! I was born in Germany to very Spanish parents. My mother, a Spanish teacher with a big love for cooking, whips up everything from elegant dinners to ‘basic’ Spanish staples like…
The Author’s Fear of Writing
It was 2010 when nostalgia hit, and I found myself re-watching one of my all-time favorite series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can’t recall the exact moment, but somewhere in one of those episodes, a spark ignited. That spark was the seed for The 23rd Pair, the Young Adult book I’m currently writing. From that…
Haunted by the Past – Reflections from The Bear Season 3 and My Writing Journey
In the third season of the TV show The Bear, the concept of being haunted runs as a common thread through all ten episodes, but not in a supernatural sense. Instead, it’s about lingering regrets, unresolved issues, and the pain that refuses to stay in the past. This theme resonated with me deeply, as I…
Corona-Art #19: Mother Earth
It’s mixed-media on a 30 x 40 card-board. I dyed the medical masks in yellow, orange and red. And glued on the dried skin as well. A lot of patience was involved with this painting as I had to let everything dry in between the phases before I could continue. I like experimenting, so this…
Corona-Art #18: The Sky is the Limit
A few weeks ago, I had to do a head CT. If you have ever done a cat scan, you might know how claustrophobic and loud it is inside, yet you are not allowed to move. To calm myself a bit, I meditated. And this is what I saw while meditating in that uncomfortable place….
Something Sweet In Between
I bought this Teddy Bear at the Flee Market and painted it with black paint. Then I positioned it on a canvas I had already put on the background color on and just stood on it. I used dried paint skin for the eyes and a button as a nose. The painting is Mixed Media…

Corona-Art #17: A Study in Pink
Ever felt a little alien? Like you don’t really belong? Well, sometimes I do. And so this self portrait somehow reflects that fantastic, exquisite weirdness that somehow belongs to me and at the same time makes room for creativity. The painting is acrylic on cavas, I spray painted the Ffp2 masks with acrylic too. It’s…
Pandemic Art Series
Masks are a big part of our lifes right now. With my contemporary art pieces, I’m exploring how I can make beauty out of something so dreadful.
Corona-Art #16: Can You be more Colorful?
Prideful Color Explosion: A friend told me the other day, she’d like to see a more colorful painting. She thought mine were a bit on the dark side. I’ve decided to wallpaper the canvas with medical / surgical masks and only use colorful paints. If you take a closer look, you’ll see that I have…
