About
Artist Statement
My artistic practice is a reaction to the fleeting nature of the photographic moment. After studying graphic design and photography at the University of Arts Linz, I now focus primarily on painting. In my work I combine techniques of photorealistic and abstract painting and aim to create images filled with detail, light, and atmosphere. Hope is at the center of my work, as I see it as essential to life.
