ABOUT

Welcome to my page & thank you for stopping by !

My brain is seeking for dopamine so I'm creating various things, usually work on 99 projects at once & absolutely love what I do.

I’ve been working with clay for about 3 years. Before that, I was mainly active in the visual arts, expressing myself on canvas. A bald head from which things grow, climb, or drip became a recurring motif in my work. When I created one of these heads in 3D during a pottery class, it was my first encounter with clay & I discovered a deep fascination for the material.

I love all kinds of small containers, especially vintage ceramic objects shaped like fruits & vegetables. That sparked the idea of creating similar containers but in the form of other types of food. The shapes & colors of different foods fascinate me & continue to inspire my work.

Since summer 2024, I’ve been part of a ceramics studio in Biel, which allows me to work more intensively & flexibly. What fascinates me is the seemingly endless range of possibilities clay has to offer. It’s patient, forgiving & reusable. The whole process takes time and patience -

something that brings a sense of calm into my life.

Since I started to share my work I am & always will be amazed by your interest & the support I receive.

It means the world to me, thank you !

I struggled for a long time with the idea of presenting my art under a pseudonym. At the same time, I didn't want to use my full name because I hardly feel a connection to my last name. However, since I can identify with my first name and express myself through my art, I decided to keep my first name in the pseudonym. I added ".jpg" because I visually process and save my emotions and thoughts on canvas, paper, etc.

I added ".raw" beacuse I work with my hands, and what I create feels genuine and unedited to me. The fact that both abbreviations are file formats is, of course, not a coincidence.
