About my artwork: I currently paint with Oil and Acrylic Colours on Canvas, do Photo-Works, and perform
My themes come from a sudden flash of mind triggered by different things wich I encounter in my life. I am not interested in provocation, I want to put the work

Interests: Fleamarkets, Old Postcards, Music, Movies, Asian Food, Aikido,
Meditation,Punk,Keyboards,Interesting People, Communication, Friends, to be alone...

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: Wolgang Tillmanns-Berlin, Cornelia Schleime -Tübingen,5. Berlin Biennale, What is German-ZKM Karlsruhe, Peter Fischli+David Weiss-Deichtorhallen Hamburg...

:-) was that a performance piece that you did (the photos with masks etc)? Love a man in a headress! Lol
