I was born on June 28th 1957 in Heddesheim / Germany.
At the age of 20 I started to become locally known by numerous regional exhibitions with my early coaldrawings and airbrush paintings.
In 1992, in the early days of digital imaging/editing, I developed a new interest:
The digital airbrush.
Fascinated by the possibility of creating every idea and every painting technique in the computer, just as with the traditional airbrush, I realized that I was able to increase the resolution and size of my images to a high degree, which made it possible to give my images an even greater amount of detail and photorealism. This defined my new style.
Today I have driven this technique to perfection and taken an exceptional position in modern art. With my unique photo-surrealistic style I am melting the incongruous into a astonishing unity. My digital paintings evoke power, sense of reality and great visions.
The direct and precise representations, with great details to explore, keep nothing hidden. Hidden deep within these fantastic aesthetics lie tales and messages that inspire the eyes as well as the mind.
My world is the world of fantasy - my own and the spectator's.
