As a visionary artist, I embark on a transformative journey to unravel the profound depths of the human experience. My artistic practice is a symbiotic dance between imagination and reality, where I strive to transcend the limitations of the tangible world and explore the infinite realms of possibility. My art should captivate the viewer so that they can get lost in the vast horizons of the present. What triggers me to create a painting are the emotions I want to pass on, which is also why people might identify with my works. Instead of letting myself or my art down on the spectrum of political or elite thoughts, I want the viewer to find truth when decoding my works. The layers I aim at are way above that and deal with consciousness and the highest off all. LOVE

Reflecting on the evolution of my artistic style, the trajectory of my work can be traced back to the initial inklings seen in the graduation poster I designed for the Elbigenalp carving school. The naivety of my 18-year-old self manifested in those early creations. Subsequent journeys to India acted as a catalyst, lifting the fog and providing clarity to my artistic vision. Over the years, my perspective has matured, resulting in refined brushstrokes and a clearer view of my artistic intent. While adhering to my fundamental approach in art, I have delved deeper into areas of interest, such as sacred geometry, Fibonacci sequences, and the philosophical and mythological underpinnings of symbols. These elements seamlessly integrate into my art, reinforcing my thematic focus on love, mysticism, and the supernatural—embodied by the motto "die to live."
