I work closely with directors, costume designers, producers and actors/singers/dancers to conceptualize and define the desired look for each character.
My team and I need to be able to apply different make-up and hair techniques on this basis to achieve the desired look.
I am responsible for the budget and personnel management of the make-up team.
I ensure that resources and budgets are used effectively and monitor the quality and working hours of the team.
I also ensure compliance with the safety and hygiene regulations for the use of make-up artist products.
Make-up artists and actors have to harmonize well with each other personally. The right composition of the team inspires the preparation and application of make-up and hair.
From the artistic concept to the final realization, I create masks and mask parts that are perfectly tailored to the respective requirements.
I design and realize make-up and hairstyles that emphasize the personality and features of the character and have the best possible effect, especially on stage.
I design and create perfectly coordinated wigs and hairpieces using my extensive knowledge of styles and styles.
In free art projects, I can use my work as a make-up artist in a particularly intuitive and experimental way. This is not about conventions or beauty ideals – but about expression, transformation and making inner images visible. I love playing with materials, shapes and textures, exploring boundaries and developing visual narratives together with artists.
Whether performance, photo art or installation – my contribution often begins in silence, at the mask, and unfolds its effect in the interplay of light, body and space. In such projects, works are created that move between surface and depth – sometimes poetic, sometimes disturbing, but always honest.
