I startet painting in my early teenager years. My grandfather, a studied artist and professor of art, taught me the basics of painting when I was fourteen years old. On the age of sixteen I took part in my first group exhibition, by this time already focused on abstract painting to express my inner feelings. As a result of this show I was taken in by the german artist H. Rötter as a student, a cooperation that lasted until 2001. During this period of time I already developed my one style of painting, building on the solid foundation of lessons given by my teachers. With all of my paintings I strive to create access to light. In doing so, I would like to enable the viewer to feel this light and thus to find an access to the inner self, to the inner light, which can often only be achieved through feeling but not through ratio. Painting to me is a doorway to the innermost part of human spirit, which I try to unlock with every picture anew.
