Lives and works in Mühleberg, Switzerland

Through my work I want to break out of the rigid
social order, create tensions and to bring about a vivid
confrontation with the issues of ”form, light and colors”.
My fascination has always been the play of light in the
crystals, in the water, and especially the light fraction of
sunlight through the prism.From dead to life! Pure matter
to bring to life through specific perceptual effects.
For me as an artist, a great challenge. I want to raise
not only my work in the center. The surroundings and
environment of my beholders should become a part in my
artwork. All these details have to give a contribution to
the totality of the artwork. How can you represent that?

with three-dimensional sculptures, covered with mirror
pieces, which reflect a confrontation with the sculpture
and surroundings. Each individual mirror fragment I cut
by hand with a diamond cutter. The perceived image of
my sculptures changes every time when I move to a new
location or when I change my perspective. Even my clothes
are scattered reflected back. My sculptures convey the
mystery of a never-ending visual experience.
