About me in art...
From the moving line, to the magic of color, to the content that moves me... A childhood discovery that you can communicate thoughts about your own experiences without words led me to a children's painting studio at the age of 11. That was in the autumn of 1971. The soft line of the pencil drew me further and further into its path, so that in 1973 I went to a children's art school. Those were the beautiful years of realizing that there are areas of color as well as lines, and that they have even greater expressiveness. In 1977 I began my apprenticeship at the art school for artistic interior design, graduating in the summer of 1981. I don't look for subjects for my pictures, I just paint what moves me at the moment. Sometimes it's children's worlds, sometimes worlds of our souls, but also often the world of things that surround us. The most beautiful lines and the strangest color combinations are hidden there too. All of this flows together into one world.- my world: a journey into the unknown, where there are so many questions. In the questions - I see the goal of my journey through the fascination of art.

Pictures in collections and private ownership, worldwide. The artist's open aesthetics refer to deep human communication. Works are inspired by nature and world events, guided by memories and discoveries in the construction and communication of the color fields. Handling of material and joy of experimentation guides the creative process - but the focus always remains on the sculptural line of the composition and creative independence..
