I was born in a charming suburban area near Hamburg in 1951, and to this day, it remains my beloved home.

My artistic journey commenced in 2006 when I delved into the world of oil painting on linen. Starting from scratch, l embarked on the path of landscape painting, and in 2008, I pursued additional training in the captivating realm of maritime painting. During that same year, I embraced the challenge of creating my first portraits, immersing myself in hands-on experience to learn and grow.

Currently, my passion lies in crafting pop art portraits, with a special affection for the vibrant culture and remarkable people of Korea. My enthusiasm for Korea knows no bounds, as I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to learning their unique and refined language. Inspired by the mesmerising K-drama series available on Netflix, I embarked on a special series featuring the beloved superstars of South Korea.

I have previously showcased my artwork in district offices, town halls, and manor houses, galleries among other venues.

In the past three years, I have participated in a variety of online and physical solo and group exhibitions in prominent cities such as Zurich, Basel, Barcelona, Mallorca, Venice, New York, Miami and Hamburg.

Many of my paintings have found their way into private collections.

Recently, my work has been featured in esteemed publications, including the glossy magazine "Bizmeetsart" in Hamburg, the art catalog "Art Anthology VI” in Madrid, the art book "Contemporary Celebrity Masters" in Palermo, the art book "The Genius of Italy" in Rome and the art Catalogue "Velàzquez & Goya" in Barcelona.

On July 22, 2023, I was awarded the prestigious "International Prize MICHELANGELO" at the historic Theater Italia in Rome.

On October 26, 2024, I was awarded the "International Prize VELÁZQUEZ & GOYA" in the most beautiful house in Catalonia, Casa Mila, La Pedrera in Barcelona.
