Sobre el Artista


Born in Vienna, childhood in a small town in Upper Austria, surrounded by blooming meadows and woods covered with moss. Youth in Salzburg, training to become a physiotherapist in Vienna. Currently living in Vienna and Waldviertel (Lower Austria). Quote: „You don’t remember the days but the moments of joy, of content, of the beauty of nature, of loneliness and sadness.“ They build a dynamic flow of memories that I want to show in my work. My pictures reflect moods, they are traces of my life. Sometimes pictures give answers to questions that haven’t even been asked, because some things you cannot put into words - but you can paint them. „The meaning of a word is limited, only that of a picture is infinite.“ Art-trips to: Paris, London, Berlin, Mailand, Rom, Madrid etc. Training at: Akademie Geras: Doz.
