I saw the light of day in Jesenice, Slovenia, in 1951 and moved with my parents and siblings to Germany, where I attended the schools.
I knew it early, the art fascinated me very much. I wanted to study it and do it myself, especially the father of my mother was a sculptor. But I did never know him.
