About:
My "late birth" of taking art pictures and making art at all, started in the age of 54 years. Without any art background, I was selected among 2000 applicants for one of the 100 admissions (in all study programs) to the Weissensee Kunsthochschule Berlin /Fine Arts/Sculpture in 2018.
Totally surprising and very honorable for me, one of my first pictures is shortlisted of the Hariban Award 2019.

Intensions:
Working intuitively, processing emotional experiences into my projects, creating a " visual language of pictures" with my images. I photograph "everything" and combine images from different sequences to create a certain mood. Storytelling with pictures.
