Occupation: businessman and painter

Also a musician (bass and vocals), paraglider and hang glider pilot since 1978 (kite), Harley Davidson rider, windsurfer from the very beginning

Self-taught

Technique: Photographing objects, assembling elements into montages and painting in oil on canvas. My art is the digital processing of photos that I take specifically and that I receive as a basis for my painting and the paintings from clients. Photos are often of poor quality, which is not important for this type of work. The technique offers various possibilities: placing objects in front of new backgrounds, using different bodies for given faces, changing colors, changing proportions. Customers can commission individual (e.g. personalized) changes to existing works or design individual utopia works with preview before painting.

I only use the colors red, yellow, blue, black and white for painting.

I paint representationally as well as nudes. I prefer to depict female eroticism, but also male eroticism. My other themes are Harley Davidson lifestyle, aviation, landscape and nature as well as utopias.
