Where are you from?

Düsseldorf, Germany

Your style in 3 words?

Expressive magic realism

Your weakness? Your strength?

My weakness is that I’m often daydreaming while being in company and not listening to things I get told. My strength is that I’m reliable and disciplined.

What makes you different?

I was a casual „Deutschpunk“ listening fantasy enjoying nerd who grew up in an awful boring village where there was not much to do but drink beer and spray walls. Luckily, and that’s probably what makes me different, I found a way to transform this boredom into something creative.

When did you decide to become an artist?

I was drawing comics as a child. This passion transformed into doing graffiti as a teen. When I started studying social science I completely paused all my creative efforts. But luckily I started painting at the end of my scholarship again. Also, I was encouraged to study art by my partner she gifted me a 10 days painting class in a small private art school. After the course was over I knew I wanted to entirely commit my life to paint.

Do you choose your art form, or does the form choose you?

We attracted each other simultaneously and now it is a working codependency.
