Concept

A bronze sculpture stands in the center of attention in the middle, representing a fusion between woman body and swan head. The material mix of wood, strings, plaster etc. are also thought after, as a wooden nest is not only fragile, in our case also transparent and exposed but also temporarily. As comments about women generally are often made that they just choose a certain type of man (mostly wealth ones) in order for the chance of getting "into a golden nest" but the complexity within the environment of women is way more complex. The moment they are in a relationship with a man there are strings attached, seen on the black strings all around the installation and fixed with the nest and the wooden parts. The dark rock-alike foundation, holding the bronze sculpture stands for the rise as a phoenix from the ashes and her role in society. Women are mostly holding not only the social network and/or family together they are also often either well connected or totally isolated in their own bubble or the spikey nest, called home.

Biography

Born 1973, in Graz, Austria
Lives & works in Vevey, Switzerland and Kalsdorf/Graz, Austria.
He attended the "Master’s School of Art and Design” (department sculpturing) in Graz, Austria where he graduated 2005 with diploma but he is also a trained Master Pastry Chef and Master Chocolatier.

He defines himself in general as a visual artist who works with bronze, stone, wood, mixed media, chocolate and does not limit himself to any medium, technique and shape. The exploration is the journey, which brings him into unexplored areas and self-discoveries. He sails between 2D-visuals the classical way of drawings on paper or digital, 3D-sculptures and ends up often even in the field of Science.
He was part in over 45+ exhibitions in 6 countries on 4 continents in Solo- or group exhibitions and his artworks or portraits were shared in over 250+ publications. He is also a regular guest at TV-stations, mostly in Germany. He won over 8 gold medals in international competitions and received over 25 awards already.
He is also a pioneer in establishing “chocolate crystals” as an art- and design medium and introduced the phrase: “Chocolate crystals-naturally grown design". He shared them in exhibitions, prints, on furnitures and on lifestyle products and was even voted as “Master Chocolatier of the year” in New York, US (2017).
He also published three books so far related to chocolate art:

- The chocolate table (Project Hong Kong (2018)
- Chocolate crystals-the soul of chocolate (2018)
- Science meets chocolate art (2020)

He walks between different artistic worlds of being a professional chocolate artist, a R&D-Product developer within the Front-end Innovation team for a global Corporation and as an freelancer artist who does commissioned artworks for private or corporate clients.
