About me
I am an independent, self-taught artist with over 40 years of experience. I believe that every painting 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
Even after 40 years of working and living in Basel, I am still drawn out of my comfort zone. I like to move my workplace to other cities and countries from time to time. If you would like to know more, please contact me.
