About Me

"You just have to think about the secret of the dawn and the slow spectacle of the sunset to understand how intense light and color transform the whole world of perception and our own life. "
(Master of Feng-Shui)
Painting has been my passion for many years. To work with color, to capture impressions and emotions into a painting or just to make artistic experiments, are sensual experiences that always intrigue me anew. It is amazing how intense location, mood and personal emotions influence the development of a painting, so that it often takes an unexpected change during the creation. The inspirations for my paintings come in many different ways: impressions of travels,things that I have found at the beach, photos in magazines, personal experiences or music. Favorite themes of my artwork are the picturesque expression of the elements and the fascinating world of Africa. I used to work as a grafic-designer for an architect office, since 2003 i..m working as a freelance artist and also doing commissioned work.
