Glass, with its thousand years of history, has always

been a very special material.

the creative possibilities seem to be unlimited and inspire

artists and architects of the last centuries up to

modern times to always new creations.

glass as a material has always inspired me as an artist

to try out new things, be it in painting or in the field of

large installations made of mirror glass.

in the history of art, however, painting behind g lass is

not a novelty.

but the combination of color, gold/silver leaf and new

painting techniques (stanzil) has enabled me to find a

completely different way of looking at things and to

create a unique depth effect that goes beyond the

previous techniques of reverse glass painting.

in the previous works i have dealt with portraits of

photo adaptations of the artist vivien meyer, large-

scale abstractions that had the inner me or the

female as a theme.

in my space taking installations I thematize the becoming

and passing of the human being and the loss of

reality in times of social crises.
