Read MoreBorn Christmas 1969 in Lucerne,
Switzerland. At the age of 14 my father encouraged me to start
photography. Encouraging meant: No introduction or lessons from my
father, but I got an Nikon FE and 2 glasses (his Leica was a untouchable
treasure). Hence I started to self-educate photography through books
and experimenting. Photography and Self-Learning accompanied me my
entirely life from analog and hours in the dark room to digital and
photoshop.The life changing event in my life was when my brother died at
the age of 20. This has been the point, where I started to battle a
fight of my inner and outer world. Photography was insufficient to
express myself. I started to acquire drawing and sculpting skills – the
human being has always been the subject – figurative art - the human
body and his inner world. While I visited art courses to practice my
techniques, drawing and sculpting, the biggest source to growth my
skills remain: books, magazines, the internet and visiting museums.In
2016 I started to use a 3D printing as my major medium and transformed
my creations from figurative to more abstract art – the human remains my
very subject and focus – but I evolved my works to a more abstract
level and interactive works. It may be about myself and my inner and
outer world, but more important, it is about the viewers value and
beliefs: art becomes art, if it makes you think.The artist statement on
the left truly express best, what my art is about.
Focus of the current work:
- The battle of the inner and outer world and the impact we have
- Freedom starts in your brain
- Children in Need (Refugees)
