About me
I am an independent, self-taught artist with over 30 years of experience. I believe that every picture finds its owner and it inspires me when they begin to live together.
My technique and imagery carry my personal signature which can now be recognized unmistakably.
Materials
Stone, slate, paper, sheet steel, gouache, acrylic and a hammer.
Goals
After 30 years of working and living in Basel I am drawn to step out of my comfort zone again.
One of my personal goals is to make my work reach New York and other venues around the world.
