Fascinated by quantum physics (e.g. Prof. A. Zeilinger at the documenta (13)) and meditation I am seeking and trying to push new, vaster boundaries with the help of art. My artwork is mostly experimental since I believe in artists of all times to have sought to implement the newest techniques their time would hold in store for them. (One of the many things, besides his ingenious books, I very much admire about Mr Hockney for example with his iPad paintings). After all, art once was indispensable for communication. Today our visual reception is mostly influenced by television, film, video and photography. Photorealism already showed in the 70ies, and Hyperrealism shows today that there are enormous differences between a photograph, a painting and that what we perceive as seen reality.
I have been a writer, author, editor, publisher and owner of a magazine - and now that has been enough...
I am just entering the pitch for the second half of my life and am dedicating this final stage to my lifelong past time, deepest creed and conviction: the fine arts.

I went to school before and I' m still learning every day, every hour and every minute.
In the arts I am mostly self taught, beginning with watercolours and drawing in the 70ies, dedicating the 80ies to the airbrush and oil paints, passing on to acrylic in the 90ies and experiments with canvas, textures and groundings and new fabrics, then commencing the new century with film, video and photography, when suddenly professional DSLR equipment became affordable - not to forget the mobile phone photography which is also beginning to change the visual world once again.

I `ve been featuring my art mainly on Saatchi Art.com website for over 8 years and on other websites. My artwork has sold to private collectors, hotels and business companies in the USA, Great Britain and Germany.

I consider it as my challenge to, maybe in this life, maybe in another, create an artwork that contains so much vital information and is so appealing that it may be considered a contribution to the art world of ts time.
