about me
For more than 20 years, I have worked on a range of themes from the concrete to the abstract,
whereby I like to integrate a large variety of materials.
In the search to find connection between painting and collage, my subject SKY-LINES was born.
During the creative process I try to achieve a balance between reality and abstraction but I am always
cautious to leave enough space for the viewer to make their own interpretations.
Without pushing it too explicitly into the foreground, I would also like to draw attention to the
current environmental problems through my work, above all the pollution of the oceans.
Some of the influential chapters in my life would include my formative years in northwest
Africa where I was born, my growing up in Germany, the various visits abroad and the year
I spent sailing in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.
I found my way into art at a private academy of art in Hamburg where I studied for several years.
Today I live on the outskirts of Hamburg and in Fuerteventura.
