I'm a visual artist and the focus of my artistic work is painting. In my works on canvas, I explore the question of how human consciousness arises.
The painting process – from idea to autonomous image
The creation of a painting, in the sense of a self-contained, autonomous image, is a highly intricate and complex process that is unique to each individual image and constantly evolving.
As an artist, I guide the painting process by striving to establish standardized routines while simultaneously ensuring maximum experimental openness. This inherent contradiction often leads to visual dead ends within this tension, which are frequently followed by new beginnings – usually moderate, sometimes radical.
It is important to me that my paintings are not hermetic, but instead offer access to ideas, thoughts and feelings with which viewers can connect.
I'm excited to be now featured on Foundwork. Foundwork is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that supports access and recognition for contemporary artists worldwide. Foundwork provides a focused digital platform for emerging and mid-career artists to introduce their work to curators, gallerists and other collaborators across the field.
BNKR – current reflections on art and architecture
As the director of the artspace BNKR, a cultural engagement of Euroboden Architekturkultur, I had the opportunity - in close cooperation with Stefan F. Höglmaier, managing director and founder of Euroboden GmbH - to transform the bunker Ungererstraße in Munich into a place of artistic practice and cultural participation.

Since my studies at the HfG Offenbach, art academy of the state of Hesse, I've been dealing with the media of painting, drawing and photography. While painting is the focus of my work, I consider drawing and photography as additional tools that inform my painting practice from their own perspective.
