Jaka Art
Welcome
Sometimes I deliberately immerse myself somewhat chaotic in my work in order to experiment and be guided. Then in turn I deal with clear forms and lines. This is reflected both in the use of colours and materials and in the image formats.

Fragments of Identity
My works, “Fragments of Identity”, explore the complexity of human identity. The face does not appear as a fixed form, but as an interplay of fragments, traces and fractures.
Layers of print, paint, texture and epoxy resin create a surface that emerges from the interplay of control and chance. Golden elements evoke repairs – similar to the Japanese kintsugi technique – where the cracks remain visible and become part of the beauty.
The red lips form a strong visual focal point and contrast with the fractured structures of the face. This creates a tension between vulnerability and strength.
The works in this series demonstrate that identity is not static, but is constantly changing and reassembling itself.
Flow of Identity
It is in motion – a constant process of becoming, overlapping and dissolving.
In *Flow of Identity*, fragments of text, colour and texture merge into an open structure. Words appear, then vanish again, preserved as traces beneath transparent layers – like memories that shift without ever disappearing entirely.
Flowing pigments meet raw, fragmented textures. A tension arises between control and letting go. Golden accents pierce the surface like fleeting moments of clarity – luminous, yet never permanent.
In Fragments of Identity, the works exist in the space between the visible and the hidden. Identity appears here not as something fixed, but as an ongoing process – fragmented, multi-layered and in flux.
Abstract
Hardly any other type of image stimulates the viewer’s imagination as much as abstract images – often, the motifs are only recognizable as rough lines and shades. Colour and design can, however, also permit a more extensive interpretation. Give your living or business space a fashionably decorative ambience with abstract works of art
Abstract
landscapes
Art works showing landscapes can complement and accentuate any interior design style. It does not always have to be classical paintings of landscapes of the local region. Abstract works are not created according to a template. They are linked to feelings and moods that landscapes trigger in me. When painting, interesting details emerge that at first do not even catch the viewer’s eye. These are, for example, small unevennesses that are perceived haptically or lines that invite contemplation. Let me invite you to discover nature with me.
Abstract figurative
My figurative works depict elements that imitate natural forms that are familiar to us. A human form or a form known to us is recognizable, but the figures do not have a clear reference to an object and are an expression of my imagination.
Mixed Media
The combination of different painting techniques and materials is not new. Leonardo da Vinci had already experimented with different colours on different surfaces in the 15th century. Nowadays, mixed media is increasingly understood to be an art or mixed technique in which different painting techniques are combined with each other. So collages, which are embellished with other materials like stamps, fabrics etc.
