Since more than 30 years I´ m working as a painter. Already in school I gave exhibitions. Since then I have been painting among the job as professor of mechanical engineering and as engineer industry and refining my abilities self educating in many techniques.
The gestical expressive figures are quarreling, loughing, loving or are standing alone. They attract notice to the observer, because they look straight to them, so he has to occupy with them and therefore with his own feelings.
Since 1991 I have exhibitions at home and abroad, also presented in private and company´s collections. The large- sized works are attracting attention because of its brilliance which is archieved by the colours of pure pigments fixed with synthetique dispersion. Furthermore there are the narrative dairy sketches like collages, mixed techniques and drawings in large to very small sizes.

During the last years the figures find its way out of the paintings into the room as sculptures.

Among painting I put my daily impressions into poems, short stories and other written forms.
