After my photography studies I was looking for further challenges and possibilities to improve my skills in that medium and so it came, that, apart from my documentary style representing a particular fragmentary character, I started to work on my abstract works which can be seen as a continuance of my figurative work.
In these I visualize human being’s sensitivity in a dialogue with the outerworld, to which I approach in steadily new ways. Meaning that my work got also inspired by painting and drawing, fields I had studied before.

My interest focuses on „Homo Mobilis“ and „fugitiveness of being/existence”. The “Homo Mobilis” represents the modern individual of whom society demands wealth of experience, an embodiment of perfection as well as flexibility. Today, development means to explore different places by simply moving and being on the run. Like a “working nomad” one has to accept changes and be willing to undergo several journeys, outer and inner as well.
How does the loss of familiar and close things influence one’s soul? What are the different ways of coping with leaving something or somebody behind, being left behind or letting go? Especially death plays a major role here since every break we cause in our live in order to achieve something new we have to leave old familiar things behind. But to what extent is it really necessary to exclude the old familiar completely? And which role does photography play as a mean of capturing and preserving moments of our lives? What is hidden behind a photo/picture and what will happen if I extract the information of the figurative?

Curious?
