The first lockdown in Germany in the spring of 2020 stirred up in me the same sense of unfamiliarity, strangeness and loneliness in the world as the American animated movie The Point! did in my childhood. 

​

Around that time, two of my oldest and dearest friends from France died tragically in circumstances that had no connection with the Coronavirus. I was devastated by sadness and experienced a tough life crisis. I began to feel paralysed and hopeless. My creative self-confidence and my self-esteem hit rock bottom. I passed through the dark night of the soul. Every day I did not make art, I sank deeper and deeper, and my creative rut grew bigger and bigger. 

​

In those critical moments, I saw myself standing before an appalling disaster or a tremendous possibility. I realised a crisis is a chance — the bigger the crisis, the bigger the chance! Thankful for those moments of despair, I chose to rise instead of sinking. Yes, I made a choice, I grabbed a straw, and the straw turned into a thick rope.

​

I learned a big lesson out of it: to never give up on my art practice. To always trust and persevere, for there's always a way out of a personal and creative rut through inner transformation. Today I know I am an artist with every fiber of my being. Because I trust my Self, and I see and create like an artist. Have a look at my Portfolio and check my profile on Instagram.

The lockdown and my life crisis awakened me to be more mindful and to help people overcome their fears; to be more thoughtful about my fellow artists, and to be of service to them. My experience with the lockdown and the death of two of my oldest and best friends etched a higher sense of purpose in my life. Thanks to a life crisis, I saw myself growing my giving mindset exponentially and becoming more patient, more resilient, and more creative than any time before!

Here I am, ready to use my year-long expertise in the visual arts to accompany you on your creative journey, to inspire and encourage you, to make a valuable contribution to your development as an artist, and to assist you in turning your challenges into success!​

It is for you that I launched The Pointless Artist in October 2021, an art blog, a podcast, and a visual arts hub with a focus on artistic creativity, art inspiration, and creative block. My transformative life experience plays a pivotal role in the blog posts I write for you. Additionally, I provide ART TALKS on The Pointless Artist Podcast to help you deal with artist block differently and sustainably, unlock your creativity in art, and get inspired along the way. Because I firmly believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to bring us together.
