I am a German photographer, illustrator and drafter. As such, I consider myself to be a conceptual artist who uses photography as a ‘new narrative’ with strong undertones to analogue art and film. I am guided only by the impulse to create, to express on that which is unseen or ignored. As a child I often visited my father in the museum where he worked as a restorer of artistic and cultural artifacts. I became intrigued with antiquity as a result of this, and of the paintings and photographs on display in the museum – leading me to explore visual art from a young age, and to communicate and storify on the odd, strange and unfamiliar. I would illustrate the small corners of my existence – those secret hiding places of childhood – and of objects lost or found. This led me into analogue photography – as an extension of this world building – and to seek out the outliers of society by fugitively capturing on those people and objects that are more commonly viewed as vagabond but were somehow beautiful to me. This is the how and why I came into art - by accident, through design of the accidental. Ultimately, I create work independent of prevailing trends but which are the continuum of my observations of life – a constant reorganisation of my mind, exhibited outwardly for the audience to see and experience for themselves.

Painting for is my first love. An important, pure love. Creating a painting, starting from the spasmodic research of a concept with which I want to send a message to transmit my message, it’s the base of my painting. The sculpture is my lover, my artistic betrayal to the painting. That voluptuos and sensual lover that gives me different emotions, that touches prohibited chords…
In this year, I worked exclusively at my concrete sculptures.
For my Concrete Sculptures I use my personal clothing. Throughout some artistical process, in which I use plaster, resin and cement, I transform them in artworks to hang. My memory, my DNA, my memories remain concreted inside, transforming the person that looks at the artworks a type of post-modern archaeologist that studies my work as they were urban artefacts.
I like to think that those who look at my sculptures created in 2020 will be able to perceive the anguish, the vulnerability, the fear that each of us has felt in front of a planetary problem that was Covid-19...under a layer of cement there are my clothes with which I lived this nefarious period. Clothes that survived Covid-19, very similar to what survived after the 2,000-year-old catastrophic eruption of Pompeii, capable of recounting man's inability to face the tragedy of broken lives and destroyed economies.
In the last 3 years about 400 international magazines wrote about my work turning the spotlight on my art project, attracting the attention of important galleries and collectors.
