I am a painter and violinteacher in Berlin. My works have been exhibited for 25 years and are represented in private and public collections.
Painting and my violin have accompanied me since early childhood.
My painting theme are colorfields that find expression in a variety of forms, often self-invented techniques and with different media, mostly in series.

The selection of works presented here are divided into three categories:
colorfields
stripes
dots

I would be happy if some of this deceleration spilled over to the viewers of
