Born in 1980 in Graz/Austria, I grew up in a family of art lovers. Our house was full of works by Egon Schiele, Vincent van Gogh, Salvador Dalí and many more. I started painting at the age of 7 and for years i tried to copy the masterpieces around me. One of my oldest memories is that I was sitting in a gallery and trying to understand why exactly all the visitors were so fascinated by the water lilies of a certain „Monet“. Even as a teenager, I was enthusiastic about new innovations and tried to expand my creativity with new technologies. After learning graphic design at school, I worked for several years as a designer for various companies. I designed layouts for websites, logos, posters, brochures and much more. At the age of 23, I turned one of my greatest hobbies into my profession: photography. I spent many years learning from great photographers in various areas of photography. I have travelled around the world and worked as a team photographer for Red Bull Racing in Formula 1 and as the official photographer of the „Life Ball“ for „Getty Images“. At the age of 32, I started to create my own projects as an art director. Among other things, I was honoured with awards at Art Basel Miami, at Biennale in Venice and was accepted into the Sony Europe Imaging Ambassador programme. I subsequently had the pleasure of working with famous artists such as Andreas Gursky, Erwin Wurm and Herbert Brandl. I have learnt a lot from painting. For a long time, I experimented with the rules of pictorial composition and their psychological effect on the viewer. Technologies open up new possibilities for me as an artist. I enjoy incorporating all influences, impressions, experiences and skills into my current work.
