Growing up in a small, far-off village in South Germany I quite early resorted to creating and thinking as my way of variety and entertainment. My first ‘serious’ creation gig was when I was asked to design a shirt for my dad’s local sports club, which made so much fun that I spent all my teenage years doing shirt designs for senior classes – whatever it was, as long as I could make something. special, ‘different’ and ‘out-of-the-box’. Eventually I was told what every teenager gets told when he finishes high school: Study something valuable or get a decent job!
In my resistance, I decided to travel around the world for one year where I discovered Australia, New Zealand, Hawai’i, the USA and most of all, my inner self. Since then it has been my quest to express myself as an abundant artist.
For years I’ve struggled because I didn’t have a signature style and took many creative endeavours such as forming an art collective and creating an interior design brand. Today I know that my creativity and variety are my strengths, and that I shouldn’t limit myself to any technique or material, when there are things that matter so much more: My ideas, my thoughts as a human being and the message I want to convey.
