From wood. Wall reliefs and freestanding objects. Each piece with a strong presence and its own identity – shaped by the material and the crafting process. Abstract. Quietly demanding.
I am interested in what the sculpture does – how it holds space and how it shifts perception.

My wall reliefs exist in a boundary space—they possess the flatness of a painting while simultaneously embodying the physicality of a sculpture.

Depending on light and shadow, subtle nuances in appearance change. They open a transitional world that is neither entirely two-dimensional nor fully three-dimensional.

Unlike my wall works, my freestanding sculptures occupy more space. They can be experienced from all sides and their appearance shifts with the viewer’s perspective. Their physical presence creates a dynamic encounter that changes with each step.

The gallery of freestanding sculptures is down for maintenace – please check back soon.

Wood, the medium of my sculptures, offers a character-rich basis for distinctive works through its natural irregularities – knots, discolorations, cracks.
Particularly, reclaimed wood, my secret favorite, adds another dimension. Marked by time, its traces of earlier use give each piece a captivating depth.
There is something special in working with a material that already has a story to tell.

I was born in Bonn in 1973, but spent my formative years in South Africa before moving back to Germany at the age of 16.

After finishing high school, I started studying art history, but found myself drawn to more creative, practical work. And so I trained as a cabinetmaker and spent a few years in upscale furniture construction before moving toward design and sculpture. Here I found the space in which I could be truly creative.

Since then I have been working as an artist in my studio in Königswinter, with a material that, despite all the achievements of our modern age, remains unrivalled.
