Artist

Many years I was very interested in art but not doing it by myself. But after I saw an exhibition with stone sculptures from Zimbabwe I had to do it absolutely by myself. I learn to form stone at a local artist and for a long time it was the main medium in my art.

2004 I need a change and new orientation. I made studies at an art school which is run by former Beuys students and tried different ways of expression and mediums. In result I became a painter with a big love to East Asian wash painting. Nevertheless I prefer oil colors – but I’m influenced by the mood and reduction of the East Asian art.
