"Only by doing what we love - creatively & imaginatively - will we be happy!"

One day, as a child, I started painting pictures. Why? Because I am convinced that the world needs more colors to make it more beautiful. For me as an artist, painting means artist freedom & realization.

That's why I'm constantly exploring new forms of artistic expression and techniques. Which motifs work? To what extent does the design match the painting? In what context will the painting hang?

My approach: Not chasing after every new trend. But to create aesthetically sophisticated & distinctive art using traditional & modern techniques.
