I began to draw at 13, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch´s paintings.

Initially my work was figurative, but it developed towards a more abstract style. Lately figurative elements are re-emerging as symbolic compositions.My art is distinguished by precise and finely executed draughtsmanship of almost photographic exactitude. Even though the paintings have a contemporary look they are too academic in technique. Paint is applied smoothly and evenly in a varied and generally vivid palette that occasionally melts into dark shadows. I have produced large quantities of drawings and paintings that include portraits, surreal environments and abstract compositions. They can be seen in collections worldwide. In short, my world is a happy mixture of dream and reality, fantasy and nostalgia, delight in nature and a genuine love of humanity.
