100/100 ✅

The final piece of my project.🥳

And yet, standing in front of it, I don’t feel like I’ve reached an ending.

I feel like I’ve arrived at a beginning.

When I started this challenge, I had no idea where it would take me. I thought I was committing to a daily practice. What I didn’t know was that the work itself would start answering questions I hadn’t even asked yet.🧐

This painting feels like a snapshot of that process.

A face emerging and disappearing at the same time. Layers covering layers. Marks that reveal and conceal. The figure is there, but your eye catches the color first. The gesture first. The surface first.

And that realization became the seed for what comes next.

These 100 studies led me back to oil paint. Back to trusting instinct over perfection. Back to a way of painting that feels unapologetically me.💗

So while this is painting 100/100, it’s also painting 1/∞ of a new body of work.

The next series will be called “Skin Colors.”❤️

It explores how often we see a person’s color before we see the person themselves. How assumptions arrive before understanding. How identity can be reduced to a surface—and how much more exists underneath.

Thank you for being here for every experiment, every breakthrough, every ugly phase, every small victory, and every painting in between.

This chapter is complete.✅

The next one starts now.🏁

What do you see first when you look at someone? 🤔

As I worked on Study 99/100✅, I kept thinking about how quickly we form opinions. Before we know a person’s story, their struggles, their dreams, or their character, we often react to what we see on the surface.
The skin color, for instance.

This painting is about that.

The face is there, but not fully. Covered, interrupted, and fighting its way through layers of paint. The person exists beyond what is immediately visible.

And yes, there’s magenta. Again. 💖 Those of you who have followed my work for a while know this color keeps finding its way into my paintings. I didn’t choose it for this theme—it chose me long ago. Here, it became part of the conversation.
Magenta refuses to stay in the background. 💓💓💓It demands attention, much like the superficial characteristics we often notice first. 🚨Yet beneath the noise, there is still a person—complex, vulnerable, and impossible to reduce to a single trait.

I’m curious:

Have you ever caught yourself making an assumption about someone before really knowing them?

Thank you for being part of this journey. ❤️
One more study to go. 💯/💯

Today I had the pleasure of doing a pop-up exhibition together with 📍 — and what a beautiful day it was. ✨🎨

A day filled with art, honest encounters, thoughtful conversations, and moments that reminded me why sharing art in person matters so much. 🤍

One of the paintings I brought with me carried a question I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
Originally, I wanted to exhibit it upside down. 🔄

Why?

Because the painting speaks about a world that often feels upside down to me — a world where we too quickly see skin color before we truly see the human being behind it. A world where people are still classified, judged, or placed into categories because of the hue of their skin.

In the end, I chose to hang it “the right way up.”

Maybe art should sometimes make us physically uncomfortable in order to make us reflect. 🌍

What do you think — should I have exhibited it upside down? 💭
I would love to hear your thoughts on this one.❤️🙏🏻

Study 98/100✅
“What do you see first — the skin color or the person?”

This piece lives in that uncomfortable pause before recognition.

The palette references the way skin is categorized, labeled, compared, and consumed visually before humanity is even considered. I wanted the face to emerge slowly from the surface — almost fighting its way out of abstraction.

The neon interruptions act like noise, tension, judgment, memory.
The swatches become more than color studies; they become a system.

Oil, charcoal, acrylic, and instinct.
Still learning. Still questioning.

It’s been quiet here for a while… but I’m still here. I‘m just so busy with other art projects…🌿

I haven’t shared much lately — not here, and not on my Etsy shop — but some things have still been moving in the background. ✨

A small update: All five paintings from my series “unfinished stories” have found their homes. 🤍

This series was dedicated to women whose lives were cut short by femicide — stories that were never allowed to be fully lived, held, and remembered through these works. 🕊️

Thank you for staying with me.❤️
More to come. 🌱

97/100✅ und 98/100✅

Zwei weitere Studien aus der Serie.

Bei 97/100 lag der Fokus auf Farbe und Übergängen. Viel nass-in-nass gearbeitet, bewusst wenig Kontrolle, um zu sehen, wie weit sich Formen auflösen können, ohne dass das Gesicht komplett verloren geht. Der Blick und der Mund sind die Ankerpunkte.

98/100 ist reduzierter. Weniger Farbe, mehr Kontrast. Hier ging es stärker um Form und Spannung im Gesicht. Die harten Farbakzente setzen gezielt Störungen, damit es nicht zu glatt wirkt.

Beide Studien sind Experimente: Was kann ich weglassen, was muss bleiben, damit es noch funktioniert?

Noch zwei bis 100.

We’re approaching the grand finale (Project ) 🏃‍♀️✨🥹

Let me share some of my learnings with you…

I’m not chasing perfection anymore.
I’m following ideas, making mistakes, changing directions, and discovering what actually feels like me.
Some things didn’t work. Some surprised me. All of it mattered.🌱

Now I just want to see what happens next… 100/100 is very close.✨

Study 96/100✅

This one was a struggle.

Abstraction is not easier than realism—it’s actually much harder.
When painting realistically, you always have something to hold onto. A reference. A structure. A “right” answer.

Here, there is none.

This piece sits somewhere in between: not fully a portrait, not fully abstract.
And honestly, that in-between space is uncomfortable. It feels unresolved, uncertain, sometimes even wrong.

But I think that’s where the work starts to become interesting.

Instead of controlling everything, I’m trying to let parts dissolve, interrupt, or disappear—especially around the mouth and neck.
Letting go is harder than it sounds.

Still learning. Still pushing. Getting there. 4 more to go!💪🏃‍♀️

Study 94/100 — Skin Colors 🎨

This series began with a simple question, but also a difficult one: what does skin color mean in our world?🤔

We often talk about skin color as if it were just a physical trait. But history — and our daily lives — show that it has been used to separate, judge, and wound. Something as natural as the color of our skin has carried the weight of discrimination, racism, and exclusion.

In this study, the face carries that tension. The reds cut across the painting like marks, interruptions, or wounds — reminders of how identity is often imposed from the outside. The skin is layered, complex, shifting between light and shadow, refusing the idea that a person can be reduced to a single color.

The expression is not calm. It’s strained, almost collapsing inward, as if holding the emotional weight of those imposed meanings. Because skin is not just surface — it’s where society projects its fears, its biases, and its power.

This study isn’t about painting a portrait perfectly. It’s about exploring the complexity of human presence, to see the human being before the label.

Study 94/100✅ - Part of an ongoing exploration of skin, identity, and the social meanings we attach to color. ✨

Study 93/100 ✅—

Today I went looking for a model and decided, almost playfully, to ask AI to generate one for me. I asked for unconventional beauty.
What I received was the opposite: a perfectly symmetrical young woman with flawless skin, full lips, and that familiar, polished softness we have all been trained to recognize as “beautiful.”

I tried to be more specific. I asked for someone real-looking, with imperfections, with texture, with presence. The result barely changed. 😳
And that says a lot.

If AI reflects what we feed it, then it’s amplifying our collective obsession with youth and perfection. 🤖✨ Smooth skin. Balanced features. Optimized femininity.

But who decided that’s the standard? And why are we still accepting it?

I reject that.

For me, beauty lives in irregularity, in the marks of time, in faces that have shifted and changed. It lives in skin that carries memory, in expressions shaped by experience, in asymmetry that makes a person unmistakably themselves. Beauty is not a template to be optimized; it is a presence that resists standardization.
💥

This study is my quiet rebellion.

Today I worked with what I got.
I like the composition, I hate the model.

Tomorrow I’ll try again.
