Art - painting:
My art is based on a long maturation process, away from academic teaching with acquired knowledge. I am free and creative in my thinking. I studied with 2 professors - eye left and eye right.
Study location - worldwide, in the art academy of life. Duration of study from 1965 until now. I learned color lithographer. A craftsmanship that requires absolute precision and a perfect sense of color.That was and is the basic, on which all my art is builed.
By studying business I learned an independent, rational way of thinking. Not hold tight to existing structures. To find new ways, ideas and products. This is how business life works. I see it that way in art too. I experimented a lot artistically. My work is a constant research of what does not yet exist or what can still be optimized. So my whole life has been a visual stroll through the world of the arts with my eyes always open. The influence of my screen printing activity can be seen in my work. Passion and still looking for further improvements, that's the purpose of my life

For over 20 years I have been working on the topic of STARS with fascination and passion. Many, many sketches and color tests were made until the point was finally reached that satisfied me. It wasn't an easy path, but I knew the subject is great, very difficult, but I will make it. You can see this long maturation process in these works. For me these works are a gift from God. I'm no longer on the home stretch - now I have reached my goal full of gratitude and fulfillment.

The star includes everything: universe, power, freedom, Christmas, consumption, fun. In the sum, energy, life, hope. In my works I enter into a dialogue with the color and the shape. The serial view ends in color harmony. The shape (star) determines the balance of the composition. Through the geometrical, symmetrical arrangement I place the stars on the one hand in a visual corset, that is, a limited environment. But free by fusing the forms into latent infinity. From two-dimensionality to the third dimension of fantasy. The rationality and rigor ends in sensual quality.
Whether monochrome or in a colored composition, the star, the stars radiate a sacred serenity, become icons of consumer society.
In my very latest works I break up the symmetrical geometric shapes. The result flows into an abstract structure. For almost all of my work I have chosen the square format, which also includes a symbolic. There are the four cardinal points north, east, south, west and so the circle closes. The starsstand above everything - a touch of infinity.
The star has become the content of my life
My art is a constant learning process. My teachers and role models are the greats of the visual arts. Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Piet Mondrian, Josef Albers, to name just a few.
My works are just as unique and distinctive as:
The square: Josef Albers, Max Bill, Gary Lang
The circle: Gary Lang, Kenneth Noland, Ugo Rondione
The star: Rod Neer
