Nach vielen Jahren Leben im Ausland und autodidaktischem Arbeiten, formale künstlerische Ausbildung an der kunstschule wien.
Ich würde mich als multi-disziplinären (oder auch „trans-art“) Künstler bezeichnen, setze jeweils das Medium ein, das Nachricht und Inhalt am besten transportiert.
Meine Arbeiten sind oft (aber nicht nur) sozialkritisch oder betreffen ökologische Themen.
Im Rahmen von kunsttherapeutischem Engagement arbeite ich mit benachteiligten Menschen (Wachkoma, MS, Trisomie21, Abhängige).
