„I make mistakes, that’s how I know I’m real“ – mixed media original (framed)

„I make mistakes, that’s how I know I’m real“ unfolds with an almost earthy monumentality. Dark layers of red, brown and black emerge from the depths like sedimentary layers of memories, wounds and trials. Visible traces of imperfection are evident in the work: lines, fractures, and restless transitions that have not been smoothed over, but rather left as part of the truth.

Thus, an atmospheric field emerges, poised between heaviness and dissolution, power and fragility. It reminds us that humanity lies not in flawless clarity, but in the traces of our errors. In a world that demands perfection, this image asserts the value of imperfection as a space in which dignity, authenticity and humanity can be experienced anew.
