In 2002 started writing art critics and book reviews for german public radio, features about art and travelling, sound pieces.
drawing, painting and writing (as well as photography) are different aspects and medias of expression in my artistic research on light and color, gesture and sign, line and surface, structure and pattern, text and texture, oscilliating between chaos and form, imagination, fact and narration, intuition and analysis in space and time of the world we live -
writing painting drawing
along the way in times of war
destruction killing and death
in restless days and sleepless nights
stretching moments in a handfull
of colors signs and words
and vice versa at
the edges of moonless nights
asking the agressor and warriors
to remember their children
and beloved ones for heavens sake
can you hear me guys
you are born as human beeings
and gifted to live peacefully in
a wonderful world if you want it
there is plenty enough for everyone
