Read More As a young boy I gazed up upon the golden statues and heavily darkened oil paintings, in one of the only institutions housing art around the small Tyrolean village, in which I grew up in. The medieval church housed paintings of despair and pain, sculptures of tortured souls. The fascination of those emotional pieces outgrew the fear of them - I found myself unable to look away.
These first interactions with art would forever shape my relationship to it, the recreation of that very atmosphere I experienced early in my life- mysterious, dark, sacred - is the focus of my efforts as an artist today.
At age 14 I started my education in Film and Multimedia Arts in Graz Austria, after which I studied Music in Vienna and traditional oil painting and drawing in the world renowned Florence Academy of Art, from which I graduated early in 2023.
I have completed an art residency in Athens in Summer and exhibited my pieces in Viennas first district in October.
I use traditional methods such as oil painting and composing for traditional instruments as well as modern methods of film making such as 3d rendering. To me the medium is secondary, the art is the focus.
I create auras and spaces.
The viewer and listener is engulfed in another world, another time
- if any.
I show liminality and the feeling of the unknown.
Nostalgia, melancholia.
I leave questions.
