Sculptor
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.
From July 3rd to 19th, my sculptures will leave the familiar setting of my studio to move into a very special location for the “Königssommer” (Kings Summer) festival: the Kunst Kiosk (Art Kiosk) in Königswinter.
18 square meters of space. An unconventional, concentrated, and intimate encounter between wood, space, and people.
I will be there in person all three weekends and look forward to your visit and great conversations.

As the raw material for my sculptures, wood’s natural “imperfections”—such as knots, discolorations, or cracks—provide an uncompromising canvas for distinctive works.
In combination with slow, traditional craftsmanship, they become hyperanalog anchor points in space, forming a visual counterpoint to the daily sensory overload of our multimedia world.
There is something profound about working with a material that inherently has its own true 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.
Yes, absolutely! I enjoy creating sculptures based on individual ideas, as long as they align with my style. I take spatial requirements into account and can also create larger works—whether for a gallery, showroom, reception area, or other spaces. Let’s discuss your project in detail. If your concept inspires me and fits my artistic vision, I’m in!
