In 1971
I entered this world as part of an Austrian family residing in
Salzburg (Austria). Already during my early youth, while moving
within Austria several times, I discovered my artistic talent and
desire to develop it. But coming from a rather traditional family
with a very practical approach to life, I did not dare following
this path until I started travelling during my early twenties.
At the age of 23 my curiosity and thirst for adventure lead me to
Australia. The culture, landscapes, colors and wildlife were
breathtaking and the images of the different life ‘down-under’ left
deep impressions which I still memorize very well.
After this trip I could simply not resist any longer and followed my
deepest desire: to express myself through painting. Having no formal
art education I simply started by following my intuition how to use,
mix and layer paint to give it the effects I had visualized for my
work.
At this point of time, I was fascinated and inspired by the works of
Salvador Dali, soon after my first own art pieces were created. My
preference of painting wild animals is the result of a 6 months
journey to Cape Town/South Africa in winter 1996/97. During this
time I organized also my first exhibitions in “Gallery
International” (Cape Town/S.A.) and “Groot Constantia Gallery”
displaying my work from the previous year.
Craving for new inspiration I moved to cosmopolitan Amsterdam in
2000. Influenced by artists from around the globe and cultural
happenings my creativity became the center of my life.
Still searching for the unknown, the deeper meaning of life, our
human existence and looking for answers, I searched for a
complimentary discipline. By co-incidence, or higher guidance, I
came across Kundalini Yoga. After a short trial period, I decided to
follow the Teacher Training as this practice gave me the answers I
was looking for and opened a new world to me. I dived into the
spiritual world and learned to follow my intuition or what we often
call ‘gut feeling’. The combination of physical and mental
exercising with spiritual-touched oil paintings made it possible to
express myself. The influence is also visible in my latest artwork
which is fulfilled with spirituality.
I hope that my own enthusiasm, engagement and passion of this
development reflects in my artwork, becomes sensible for the
observer and touches their hearts.
