Patterns of Earth, of Life & of Soul - that is my art. This term focuses my artistic work on everything that interests or concerns me: nature, landscapes, climate, the state of the earth, untouched nature vs. broken nature, the destructive power of civilization, interpersonal relationships, the tension between nature and civilization, the magic of the ordinary and the magic of the imperfect, the mystical vs. the factual, the matter and spirit, chaos and order, the state of one's own soul, one's own life ... the whole contradiction of human existence - embedded in a tiny moment in the universe. I try to find the beautiful in this tension, to preserve it and to visualize it.

Every picture of me is based on a photo I took. I either leave the photo as it is or I manipulate it digitally - with the aim of expressing or visualizing my personal perception and feelings of the photographed. There are always my feelings that I want to visualize or express. From a technical point of view this procedure creates several variants of the original picture. I choose the image that I like best and define it as a unique item or as an edition. I make multimedia series with the remaining variants that may only focus on one motif or are there different motifs that flow into the series. Digital manipulation of the photos makes many variations possible. I decided to use this to create series – multimedia pieces - that can be displayed on the screen (computer, TV, mobile phone) or as a projection on the wall. It is possible to have individual images from a series printed. But the natural medium for my digital pictures and series is the screen or the projection onto the wall.
The unique items and limited editions receive the "Certificate of Uniqueness for digital artworks" from me. All images / photos / videos are electronically signed and certified. Currently I have created a number of multimedia pieces as an open edition to give interested people the opportunity to acquire their first works of art cheaply and maybe get enthusiastic about collecting art.
