After years of working in design and art direction, I have finally decided to pursue my true passion as a full-time artist. I have been longing for the freedom of self-expression and independence, and I am excited to finally make it happen.
As a German-American with Polish heritage, I faced adversity in my youth, growing up in poverty and subsidized housing in Hamburg. Despite the challenges I faced, I have drawn from my diverse background and experiences to create art that tells deeply personal stories.
Now, I am thrilled to be able to paint with complete freedom and to live and die by my own merits, good or bad. This journey is about more than just making a living as an artist; it is about fulfilling a lifelong dream and creating something meaningful that connects with people.
My art is deeply personal and emotive, using figurative work to tell stories that are important to me. I'm not afraid to comment on everything from societal and social issues to my own political beliefs. My goal is to create an open space for interpretation by the viewer, while still conveying a clear narrative.
Although I'm currently focusing on oil paintings, my artistic interests span a wide range of disciplines, including sculpting, creative technologies, animation, typography, and tattooing. I'm eager to explore new ways to express myself and make connections across different fields.
As Klaus Kinski once said: "Dann mach doch deinen Scheiß" so I'll do that.
