about me
I was born in 1978 in Merzig, Germany. I studied media computer science in Furtwangen and communication design at the University of Fine Arts in Saarbrücken. In 2004, I graduated with a diploma and taught in the department of Media Art & Design.
I work as a freelance Art Director, using my creativity in both traditional and digital media.
Emotional Realism Art
My works focus on portraits of people and animals, emphasizing the depiction of emotional states and moods. The fascination with realistic drawing and the attention to detail associated with it give me the opportunity to create new realities that cannot be seen in the original photograph. This is a challenge I always enjoy taking on.
I focus on the essence of the moment and capture emotions and nuances that go beyond pure photography. photography.
Each of my drawings tells an individual story and creates an unforgettable work of art that emphasises the personal value of memory.
For me, a photograph is an important inspiration and orientation for my artistic work. By transforming it into a drawing, I open up a new emotional perspective for the viewer.
The procedure
When I look at a photo, I discover invisible and subtle elements that remain hidden to many at first glance. So, it is these elements that are later highlighted in my drawing. Therefore, reference photos must be coherent for me.
When I start drawing, I work in sections, extracting the facial expressions and other features. In the end, my drawing often looks like a photo but goes beyond that to show a subjectively perceived reality.
