Biography

I started my professional career as a journalist and studied political sciences. Doing photography since school leaving I started in 2009 doing watercolor painting. I was infuenced by the works of german artist Jonathan Meese and my visits at our local "Kunstverein". I also did installations with photos, collages, objects and videos. I'm interested in writing poems about art.

My watercolour paintings are done in a special technique called >>un jeter<< from French to drop water or to shed tears. Pigments spread on the surface of the paper conducted by occasion and physical laws. They often create a kind of landscape like sediments on the seaside. I integrate this process in my portraits and compositions. Last year I was very happy to have got a First-round Winner Award at the international Art Competition Art Olympia in Tokyo Japan for one of my portraits.
