I was born in Thuringia in 1978 and now live in my adopted hometown of Munich.
I started painting and expressing myself artistically as a child. The initial “scrawl” that we put on paper as children turned into interesting works over time. By attending the technical college for art and design in Erfurt from 1995 to 1997, I was able to further train and strengthen my artistic eye, learn techniques and try out new things. After my training as a media designer for digital and print media in Erfurt from 1998 to 2001, I finally moved to the media city of Munich at the end of 2001, where I still work as a creative director in an advertising agency. After a very long creative break in which I concentrated more on my professional career, I decided in 2022 to focus more intensively on abstract painting again as a freelance artist.
