In 1996 I graduated as a graphic designer. Various activities and travels through Europe and America finally led me to Study. The year 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall also opened the borders of my future. These encounters are transferred to paper or canvas and tell each viewer their own story. They are as exciting and varied as in my childhood. In the thicket of bushes and leaves, a wide variety of plots take place with many different protagonists. I still experience these stories on hikes in the woods and on walks in the surrounding area. From Sinbad to Prince Valiant, from Westerns to pirate stories, everything was there.

So I watched movies on TV and wrote down the plot and partly also dialogues. But I wanted it to be more structured and a real story, without endless chases. Since everything was just wildly jumbled drawings, I gave them out. At the end of the lesson, they wanted to have the drawings. Also to the delight of some classmates, who followed each line with excitement.

With pen in hand, I let my thoughts run free and put them on paper. A world with adventures in distant lands. At school, in the less exciting subjects, my thoughts wandered out through the windows into the wide world that remained closed to me. Everything was possible and everything was fascinating. I always liked to go into the illustrated world of fairy tales, immersed in the most diverse stories with animals, plants, people, mythical creatures and spirits. Told in books, poems, pictures, comics and films. Since childhood I have been passionate about stories.
Aesthetic stimuli, oddities, contradictions inherent in natural resources make up the exciting potential of the world of motifs on which my artistic activity is based. Changing realities have left their traces, natural forms and processes have engraved themselves on the surfaces like ciphers. Consequently, distance is not the goal or the starting point, but rather the understanding of the world as a form of the microcosm that lies before us and that can and wants to be discovered both intellectually and emotionally.
I hope to sensitize the eye to what exists and, although directly in front of us, is often overlooked. For me and the viewers of my paintings I want one thing above all else - to make them aware of and experience nature and their surroundings in a new and subtle way. My painting and graphic art constantly moves on the borderline between representationalism and abstraction, whereby nature, down to its smallest structural units, functions primarily as an indirect source of motifs and inspiration.
