o.t. (black gate & zigzag) Painting

I am a freelance artist based in Germany, painter, photographer, media artist as well as composer of music for experimental film, documentary, experimental theatre and performance art, independent projects. My works are widely distributed nationally as well as in China, Japan, the United States, Canada, France, South Korea and Belgium. Characterized by the phenomenon of perception, interest in the structures and organization of human life in relation to each other and the environment, my compositions live on freedom of thought, intuition, association, color, form, movement, rhythm, language, sound and humor.
