After I frequented the “Meisterschule fűr Grafik“ in Berlin and later the „Academie Royale des Beaux Arts“ in Brussels (for monumental painting and stained glass windows), I carried on painting for nearly forty years. Changing my habitat in Europe four times and exhibiting in several towns like London, Paris, Brussels, Bologna and Verona, I now live in Padua.
My last paintings are in acryl, oil pastels and mixed medias and most inspirations I drew from my travelling in Europe, Africa and India, since I am fascinated by the variety of the culture and landscape. After the first contact with a new country, I love to dive down into its story, religion, myth and music for a couple of months, to get a more complex picture, which leads to my present works in a mixture of figurative and abstract forms.
