Artist Statement:

“My pictures are part of the “Wildlifeart”. I portray animals partly in their natural environment, but mostly alone on a black background. Through this style of painting, I want to emphasize the beauty and majesty of each animal and bring it closer to the viewer, because only what we have seen, we are prepared to protect. I collect ideas on my travels and wherever I am on the road. I admire people who are committed to nature and our environment. With my pictures, I try to contribute to conservation. That is why I often focus on environmental pollution and the destruction of animal habitats.”

Together we can change the world – art will be our language

Pictures reach everyone, touch, fascinate, irritate and provide plenty of topics for conversation.

True to the motto: Is this art, or can it go away?

I let myself be inspired by what I see and what moves me. I collect ideas on my travels and wherever I travel. My pictures tell stories, process thoughts and show the world as I see.
