Seeing, transforming, manifesting – these are the essentials of my art. With my abilities to work naturalistically, I try my hands on the human body. I’m working myself off. On my bodies. Thereby, I’m processing my themes. Which are wounds, dreams and thought structures.
In my artworks I am seeking to represent psychological topics. By the use of structures and surface treatments. To visualize emotional processes inside and outside the human organism. Those processes assume shape through my sculptures.
In his existence the human being is a disrupted creature. Abstract shapes and deformations stick out of the bodies. They show a kind of brutality. Which is always part of being existent.
Sensuality is a also a topic that occupies me deeply. And I try to express it in my artworks. Farther, I attempt to capture time in a pose or a facial expression. Thereby, I’m constantly experimenting with materials and surfaces. Striving for new forms of expression. And this pursuit practically becomes evident on the sculptures.
