When the invisible becomes visible

Deeply touched by the nature around me and inspired by the landscape of my soul, I create magical artworks through linocut printing.

I love to make visible things for which there are sometimes no words: a premonition, a feeling, a connection, a moment of wonder. My motifs tell of transformation, inner strength, vulnerability, trust, and of always finding one's own path.

I let myself be inspired by nature, by shapes, stories, and life itself, and I follow my intuition when I work. This is how expressive linocuts are created that may remind you of something that has long been within you.

art.from.ilkas.heart is my small, independent art studio in Bavaria. Since 2018, I have been designing, carving, and printing my works myself – from the first sketch to the finished print.

It's wonderful that you're here. I hope that in my pictures you will find something that touches you, strengthens you, or simply brings a little piece of magic into your everyday life.

My Story, Values ​​& Vision

  • How did I get into making art full time?
  • Why linocut?
  • Why the topic of femininity and connection to nature?
  • What values ​​do I orient myself by?
  • What is my vision?
