Already as a child, I discovered my passion for the visual arts. By constantly drawing and playing with colors and shapes, I spontaneously and passionately approached the various artistic shades, and I began to experiment intensively with oil painting at a young age.

After more than 30 years in the insurance business, a change in corporate philosophy with far-reaching changes in the job description provided the impetus for a professional reorientation, and following my inner voice, my former passion for art now formed my future mantra.

In search of my own artistic language, I went through various processes and finally - inspired by Mark Rothko - turned to > «metaphysical» color field painting.  I am fascinated by how a painting with countless thin layers of color and blurred, «floating» areas of color stacked one inside the other can develop great inner power and depth and trigger unadulterated human emotions in the viewer.

In my further artistic development, I increasingly approached the > expressive-abstract squeegee technique of Gerhard Richter and quickly recognised the parallels to > «metaphysical» color field painting. His works also carry this inner calm, while at the same time displaying great drama and dynamism. The deliberate and modelled randomness with squeegees, spatulas and brushes creates compositions in the sequence of addition and subtraction of tools and colour that are often reminiscent of spatial and landscape depictions.   

The unpredictable nature of the squeegee technique combined with the knowledge and artistic perspective from the first creative phase has resulted in a coherent oeuvre.
