Artist Statement:
I was born in 1988 in Lower Saxony, Germany, and early developed a strong sense for visual expression through drawing, filming and graphic design. After graduating from the Leibniz University of Hanover I concentrated fully on my artistic journey by studying the old masters and distilling the best lessons into my unique painting style.
With bold and furious brushstrokes I paint seascapes and torned figures which arise out of an experimental collage process. My paintings are fed by photos of our historic and current excesses, self generated 3D imagery, the subtle beauty of everyday life and the snapshots on our phones – the daily internet junk.
My mission is to create images that let us question how things are connected and what our place is in this big, bad, beautiful world.

Artistic Influences:
My painting style is a combination of the great achievements of art practice like splashes of abstract expressionism, broken brushwork and impasto of impressionism with the accuracy and truth of realism.
