Art has always been a part of my life, even if I not only ignored it for a long time but almost fought it. Abitur, apprenticeship, jobs in large companies - all of this was supposedly my path for a long time, because I didn't take the place at the art college which was offered to me. I was born in the former GDR and just as I had to decide for the art college the wall fall - and I was blinded by the new freedom in front of me, and choosed a different way.

20 years later art came back into my life with one brush one canvas and 5 tubes of paint. This was the moment I started to realize where I really belong. Since than, my art was shown in London, Leipzig, New York and Miami and Collectors in US and Europe bought my works.

In 2019 YOKO ONO choosed my concept "Lets heal the world with Love" to me shown among her art in her huge show in Leipzig Germany.
I use different mediums, like Oil, Ink, Paper Canvas.

Every situation I encounter can trigger a work of art, I am an incredibly emotional person, although these emotions are of course also shaped by extremes, sometimes very calm and "profound" and then again very loud. Just like my paintings :-)
