Bio
Trained in architecture and landscape design, I left the drawing board to move into a more direct, intimate way of working with people: tattooing. That spatial background still informs my practice, but now the “site” is the body, and each session becomes a one-to-one collaboration rather than a distant brief.
My work revolves around building alternative worlds. Drawing is the tool that makes this possible: emotions, movement and tension are distilled into precise, detailed designs. Recurring figures—ribbons, swords, swans, swimmers, florals—appear like characters in a universe that is still expanding.
I think of each piece as a moment frozen in time, carrying its own secret narrative while leaving space for interpretation. Whether highly symbolic or purely ornamental, every tattoo is a “fighter for life”: a companion image chosen to stay with the wearer, permanently.
Exhibitions
Berlin – 11.2025
In this group exhibition in Berlin, the works form a compact, immersive installation where 3D prints and drawings bleed into the existing architecture and furniture to create a small parallel universe. At its centre is a hybrid swan–dragon figure, suspended between biology and imagination. Around it, epiphytic artworks colonise the space: relief tiles creeping across walls and displays, a chair that slowly abandons its function, and a small anime-like rocket character launching a strongly queer Saint Sebastian from one of the pedestals.
The constellation of objects sketches a colourful world in which cuteness coexists with sadness, strength with vulnerability. The atmosphere is at once unexpected and strangely familiar, as if the exhibition space itself were being quietly rewritten from within.
