Creating Art has always been an important part of my life. My quest is to understand my environment and  relationships, rather than seeking admiration by others. I am an observer and my work is very personal and introspective using a variety of media.

My central theme is the absence of truth, individual realities and their ambiguities (The world of the Dede puppets are the public expression of my observations).

​

The upshot is that non-acceptance of individual realities is ultimately the death of debate and a fertile breeding ground for haters. This awareness shifted my focus on creating positive communities outside the puppet world. 

​

In German we have this beautiful word Lebenskünstler. Though there is no translation into English, the literal meaning is Artist of Life. It acknowledges: living your life is your art.
