After studying free painting and graphic art in Cologne, I worked as a graphic artist for the city planning department of Solingen for several years, later as a freelance artist.
During this time I took part in several exhibitions, including several years at the Salon Art Plus in Hilden, together with the Groupe des Peintres Gueury Paris (GPFGP ). In addition, I had several solo exhibitions.
In the mid-90s I discovered Photoshop and with it digital art.
At the time, it was still a relatively new medium and was largely not taken seriously by the art scene. This changed as the technology developed and I eventually started to move from "analogue" painting to photomontage. Digital art opens up incredible, experimental possibilities for me to realise my fantastic dream worlds.
I complement my composings with digital painting and sometimes rendered parts.
Software used: Photoshop, Corel Painter and Blender 3d
It's not so important what you see, but how you see it...
So a different image often arises in my mind when I photograph, hear or read something...
I love to create new worlds from fragments of reality, dream worlds, somewhere between real and surreal.
