"I develop my large-scale acrylic paintings based on charcoal drawings. The spontaneous, gestural impulse of drawing remains visible and forms the basis for a painterly transformation into intense, pop-infused colour worlds. Text fragments occasionally appear within the images, functioning as visual interruptions, narrative hints, or associative elements that extend the pictorial space. My work revolves around themes such as fashion, film, and everyday culture—fed by memories, visual fragments, and media impressions. I am not concerned with representation, but with a free, intuitive synthesis. Figures and motifs detach from their original references and are translated into an independent visual language, where image and text can interact, overlap, or contradict each other. The transition from charcoal to color is a decisive moment in my working process: reduction and condensation meet expressive color. My painting aims to be immediate, emotional, and intuitively accessible. I work with a direct visual language that deliberately remains open and allows space for individual associations, with text fragments reinforcing or disrupting perception. In this way, works emerge that oscillate between drawing and painting, memory and present, control and spontaneity—freely interpreted and at the same time precise in their visual impact."

Popcorn and cascade bidding:

If a bid is placed during the last 1 minute of the auction, the closing time will be automatically extended for an additional 1 minute from the time the last bid was placed. The item will close once all bidding activity has stopped. This is recommended for high-value and popular items. Popcorn bidding prevents bidders from waiting until the last minute to bid without giving the bidders who were outbid an opportunity to rebid.

Cascade bidding ensures auction lots close at staggering times, one after another. For example, the first lot of an auction might close at 12:01pm, the second lot would close at 12:02pm, then the third lot at 12:03pm, etc.
