So my beautician who supplies me with quite few masks, asked me if I could do one piece for her like my “Filtering Flower Piece 1”. This is the result. Somehow same but so very different. I’ve taken pictures and a video from both next to each other. What do you think?
I‘ve been thinking a lot about Beauty standards latetly. And since I’m running low on masks, I’ve started experimenting with collages and photo transfers. This is my first one. A self portrait. The main theme is diversity in beauty. This is an inkjet print and even though the common opinion is that only laserjet prints …
This new work was “commissioned” as a birthday gift. The objective was turquoise coloring with an aquatic and underwater vibe. It’s acrylic on canvas (30×40) using several methods (spatula & spray painting for example). I’ve used Ffp2 masks and simple medical masks. PS: This piece is gone.
This is a 50 x 60 cm piece. I used acryl on canvas and spray-painted the fftp2 masks with different colors and layers as well. I also used a medical mask in the middle and formed it to a flower. I also used an old frame as a base for the filtering flower pieces.
Another Acrylic on canvas (20 x 50): I have thought about how a butterfly is the ultimate symbol for transformation. The caterpillar has to go through an extreme metamorphosis to become a beautiful butterfly. This is why I have chosen this motive for my next piece. It ended up a bit childlike and sweet. PS: …

Another Acrylic on canvas (30 x 40): This is the first time I’ve used FFP2 masks and glued them on the canvas. To me this looks like a flower.
Black and blue metalic: The abstract paining is acrylic on canvas (30×40). I felt inspired to form the recycled medical masks into roses. In my opinion the colors give the painting an underwater vibe. The process of making art of medical masks lasts a bit. I constantly have to wait for them to dry before …
Mandatory Black & White: A new piece of my Pandemic series. It’s acrylic on canvas with used masks (no worries, they come from people I know. They were disinfected and washed beforehand). The intention is to make something beautiful or at least artsy from waste…
“Is this trash or can it be art?” This is the question I’ve been dealing with ever since we made disposable medical masks mandatory in Germany (January 2021). I don’t know about you – or maybe this is a Berlin thing, but everywhere I go, I encounter these disposable masks: discarded somewhere on the street. …
