I think it is right to say that when it comes to question as to what inspired me to create this painting three aspects are most relevant: First, an illustrated book of de Sade's in-/famous book "The 120 days of Sodom", which I came across when studying in Vienna. The book was printed in the early 20th century and the illustrations were in Art Nouveau-style. The funny thing about them was that they, with their over-aestheticized depiction of female nudes, seemed almost comical in contrast to what's written in the book. Secondly, I felt inspired by the films of an Argentinian filmmaker, named Marco Berger. And thirdly, when starting with this painting I wished to make an homage to a Francis Bacon painting, but half way through it I realised I am making a bad Picasso. So instead of working to closely along the lines of Bacon, I just used the inspiration which his works so continuously provide me with. It is fair to say, that this painting is about sexuality and desire, in a way, and it is my belief that both things are an inherent part of art, whether it is theatre, literature or the visual arts. When it comes to art and sexual contents, it's a question of how and not if.

Born and raised in Vienna, I was trained at the "Künstlerische Volkshochschule Lazarettgasse" in naturalistic, portrait and figure drawing for several years, and was taught oil as well as watercolour painting techniques. Later, I studied Classical Philology and Philosophy at the University of Vienna. My two great passions are visual art and literature. Having said that, I think it necessary to say that I do not mix up my interests in literature with my painting, but rather let them stand and thrive separately. Yet, although my literary and theoretical training may not have an impact on my visual artworks, it plays a crucial role in my artistic thinking, for it helps me to find a way through the sheer impenetrable jungle of contemporary art theories, concepts and ideas that shape our modern thinking of what "good" art is or ought to be. Even if I use a variety of different media and materials, I have a unique and very deep passion for watercolour. This is the medium I discovered first as a child, this is the medium I learned with how to represent reality. Since then, of course, my style expanded beyond realism. Now and then, however, I return to it. But my love for watercolour is still the same. It is my aspiration to find a completely new form, a new visual language for watercolour, as it were, because, looking at watercolour painting today, I surmise that most of it seems stuck somewhere between a formulaic form of realism and an odd revival of expressionism.
