i come pretty straight from visual art. started painting as teenager, did evening courses, studied at the art academy dresden and did my diploma for sculpture. then i was 2 years masterstudent, studied post graduat in stuttgart, paris and later moved to brooklyn, new york, where i attended a first computer graphics internship at the institut of technology, ny..

when i came back to germany in 1994, i moved to berlin, right in the middle of the electronic music boom, i started pretty radically to work with computers (only), i knew i have to work the same way like the music i was listening to was made .
i passed another 1 year multimedia design education. since then, none of the fascination of working with software and internet based networks has abated. i never felt any reason to move back to paints and traditional artistic work.

anyway,
deep inside i'm a painter and i always was. so i see my work best described in the traditional context of painting. the focus is on the development of an image and color composition.
