Read MoreBorn in 1968 and raised in the picturesque "Mühlviertel", the hilly region of Upper Austria north of the Danube. 1987 general qualification for university entrance at high school. 1987 Admission examination at the University for Artistic and Industrial Design in Linz, the capital city of Upper Austria. 1987-1989 studied interior design at the University for Artistic and Industrial Design in Linz. 1989 -1995 studied architecture at the University of Art and Industrial Design in Linz with Professor Goffitzer. 1995 Diploma in architecture passed with distinction (Topic: Observatory for an astronomical association). Since 1995 I have been working as an architect, both as an employee and as a self-employed person, and have developed my own artistic language from this context. Sentences and words inspire me to process them into images and to formally define their statements in such a way that form and content intertwine. But my graphic work also stands for itself as a purely abstract composition. The geometric formal language of my works grows out of the ordering and structure-creating job as an architect. The drafts are created as sketches on paper or on the touch screen. Based on this, I construct precise drawings on the computer. My own stylized photographs create spatial depth or views. The chosen image carriers, such as metal, acrylic glass, stone, on which the digital works are printed, do not only serve as a background, but are also included in the composition with their materiality, and are thus an integral part of the artistic process from the very beginning.
