I'm a visual artist and the focus of my work is painting. I explore the question of how human consciousness arises and which factors govern the process of identity formation.
Artistic Practice and Working Process
With my medium- and large-format paintings on canvas, I create fields of events in which non-representational and figurative forms coexist, interact, and enter into an open-ended exchange.
I integrate linear signs, amorphous forms, expressive gestures, and redundant traces into the abstract color matrix. These elements can condense into three-dimensional structures through repetition, thus simulating figuration.
In this way, a visual narrative emerges that can be interpreted in different ways. The painting process becomes a controlled experiment that calls up, negotiates, and sometimes rejects fragments of thought that cannot be precisely named: entropic chaos collides with structural order, progressive dissolution meets continuous construction.
I am pleased to be one of the finalists for the 'Kunstpreis Bildende Kunst der Stadt Gersthofen 2024' with my painting "Les Danseurs" (2022). On the initiative of the Kulturkreis Gersthofen, the artprice is awarded for outstanding achievements in the field of visual arts. The finalists' works will be presented as part of an exhibition (Saturday, June 29, 2024 - Sunday, July 21, 2024) in the Ballonmuseum Gersthofen.

BNKR – current reflections on art and architecture
As the director of the artspace BNKR, a cultural engagement of Euroboden Architekturkultur, I had the opportunity - in close cooperation with Stefan F. Höglmaier, managing director and founder of Euroboden GmbH - to transform the bunker Ungererstraße in Munich into a place of artistic practice and cultural participation.
Artist Statement
Since my studies at the HfG Offenbach, art academy of the state of Hesse, I've been dealing with the media of painting, drawing and photography. While painting is the focus of my work, I consider drawing and photography as additional tools that inform my painting practice from their own perspective.
