I’m a traveler who wants to gain experience, as an artist and as a person. My studio is the world, whether India, Mexico, Hawaii, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Spain, …… I want to absorb the inspiration of the countries and people to process them in my pictures.
The simplicity of my pictures is reflected in my authenticity. They are simple, but each picture tells a story of me. It is my own style “art radical”, which developed after my time in the “freies Atelier Gugging”, where I worked with “art brut” and at the “Kunst-Akademie” in Berlin.
My pictures are as they are, natural and naked. Why do I often paint naked people? Because nudity is our natural origin, our right to live freely and to make the world our playground of feelings and emotions.
My pictures show an honesty, they symbolize the change in life and everything that is possible when you step out of your old self and take a new path. Then that goes through nudity.
Anyone who is naked is honest. With this I’m trying to create a unity, a unity of the super complex reflecting self.
The old avatar in us longs for a rebirth of a forgotten freedom. We live, we watch, we witness how the avatar ascends and connects with our new spiritual self.
