Artist - Profile (english)
w-Profil-1-bild

My work as an artist
implies philosophy of life, past life
and present life,
therefore experienced life.
My work is the mirror
of inner values and aspects of human being.

The purpose of my art is to help create
a sense of harmony with ourselves,
recollecting our original state of being.
Creating space for communication, feelings, devotion, stillness, creativity, sensuality
and awareness.
My pictures ask for a careful relation with oneself and others.
And they ask for more tolerance towards
multicultural societies

Versatility of Reality...

Being inspired by travelling to the middle and far East having deepened the studies of other releigions and having experienced different forms of meditation - I have found a new access to the essence of life.

They reflect the whole spectrum of human being in its versatility of reality.
