My favorite part of the drawing process - gently reveáing light and watching the drawing come alive✍️

The sounds. The slow pace. Drawings is my kind of therapy🩶

One of my favorite drawings🩶 
‘Wishful’
charcoal on paper
.
I love working with very simple motives, I love to capture something so abstract something so elusive as an inner state and embody it in a concrete real form. A simple form but with many possible interpretations. In this drawing I wanted to create a very simple motive with a strong dynamics - the movement in the hair. I was inspired by many legendary artists such as Richard Anedon (the way he captured hair movement), Herb Ritts, Bert Stern and his sense of light as if the subject was in a dream (that’s where I created the white clothes fading into a light), David Sims and his dynamic portraits for Jil Sander campaigns, Craig McDean, Paul McLean, Charlotte Robin etc. They all work with simplicity yet telling incredible stories.

Don’t you think?🕊️
Tenderness isn’t weakness.
It’s resilience in its gentlest form.
That’s what I love to draw🩶

charcoal on paper
1x1,5 m

This is the largest drawing I have ever done. ‘Nostalgia’ captures a fleeting moment of looking back at the past with a gentle sense of sentimentality…a very personal and warm moment.

‘Soft Resilience’ 
charcoal on paper
2025

In this drawing, the braid becomes a symbol of quiet strength, where each individual strand contributes to a greater whole. The subtle texture of the hair reflects resilience, not through force, but through gentle continuity…

‘A Quiet Escape’ – a drawing that invites you to step away – if only for a moment. A gentle breath, a quiet return to yourself.

With her back turned, she gently retreats from the world’s demands. The open space invites viewers to share in the tranquility of this intimate, personal moment — far from the bustle of life.
