I call myself an urban multidisciplinary creative – a ‘Visualizer’ and Artist. My creations make people happy! My artistic practice oscillates between painting, design, photography and illustration. It evolves around / investigates the surfaces of our everyday environments in an “image-fixed” world by blending both analogue and digital culture. Within that, I often conflate our everyday environment with re-occurring autobiographic connotations like dependencies, relations, complexity and multi-layered reflections. My pictures are riven with contradictions and elisions, with the subject often remaining obstinately elusive. My work should consciously rise questions about transitional states: intersections of old and new values, life, death, gender, and their associated forms of representation. It also draws inspirations from commercial studio photography and its creative usage of the” image as such” in advertisement. My work should evoke impressions of a new romanticism by advocating natural settings, secrets, visions, insights and intuition, the uncanny and the displaced. It highlights the fantastic, the surreal and the imaginary, reflecting upon the unknown, forgotten or hidden spaces in a cold, modern world screened by digital algorithms. In my latest work for the German Bundesrat, I do explore the history of the institution with its federal functions and levels. In a multi-layered composition I gather different surfaces, objects and connections into unity – representing the German Bundesrat. Captivating history, architecture and expressive motions are embedded in a powerful environment. Despite their analog means, my multi-layered, often collaged works speak eloquently of our mobile, networked, image-fixated moment. They should rise the question to reconsider what occurs on the picture plane, whether it be a drawing, a collage, a photo sheet or screen; to look at how we read or misread these surfaces; and to think of how we relate to our physical life among inanimate objects that have their own stories to tell.
Ich sehe mich als ‚Visualisator’ – In meinen Arbeiten, die sich zwischen Malerei, Design, Photographie und Illustration bewegen, fange ich den Alltag unseres urbanen Lebens ein und erforsche Oberflächen, Details und Perspektiven. Analoge und digitale Kultur werden miteinander vermischt.
