occupational development:

At times I committed myself for longer periods at the Schaubühne Berlin, at the Opera and theatres in Cologne, for television, film and photo shootings. I focused on special effect make up, creating busts and masks for historical film and fiction."

From 1987 to 1992, I concentrated on the Far East, which culminated in a long stay in Japan and the study of the occupational development of that Country. After my stay in Japan, I live and work as an artist in Cologne Germany. Since 2002, I put my emphasis in the free painting style. I work on the impressions of my many local changes and the intensive pursuit to humans of different cultures in my pictures in Oil and Eitempera.

Most of my exhibitions are in Germany but there are also exhibitions in the US and in Korea.
