About Me

I deliberately do not follow any particular style and try to create my own personal and authentic art. An inspiration for my surreal sketches and imagery are the ancient philosophers from West and East, who dealt with the central questions of life in a way that is unsurpassed to this day, especially the Stoics. The influence of these writings, which I was introduced to through the philosophical school "Mass und Mitte" flows intuitively into my pictures.
