About

I am free lance artist, working and living in Switzerland. I create acrylic paintings of varying sizes, colours, textures and materials as well as Digital Art works, Photopaintings, Photo-collages, sculptures and installations. I use the computer as a painting tool and have developed different techniques, as e.g. “Photo-collage”, called digital mosaics, where each picture is a composition of about 2000 single pictures.

Work
- Digital Mosaic - a creation of about 2’000 single pictures and Medial painting – the digital spirit of the age in pictures -
I use the computer as a painting tool and have developed different techniques. These “Photo-paintings” form a sub-set of the digital works. They are a combination of traditional painting and the creation of the pictures in a computer program. I have developed two types: On one hand I digitalize my original art works in mixed media and then create a new work by manipulating the digital images in the computer. On the other hand I produce a “Photo-collage” using digital photographs, scanned images and sketches. The pictures are worked on in the computer using different filtering and painting processes over many stages until the image is completely transformed. Whilst the new work is based on the original material, the imagination and ability of the artist are crucial in giving this completely new composition its revised statement and form. The digital Mosaics are a creation of about 2’000 single pictures. The technical sophistication of printing allows me to realize the image conceived digitally in the computer on such specially selected materials as Plexiglas, Aluminium, or another metal. Each picture is unique and will be printed in the size required. Using non-traditional methods I evoke insights that one would scarcely associate with “brush on painting surface”.
I work with these untraditional methods in order to create totally new insights that would hardly be achievable using a combination of brush strokes on a surface.
The transparent, translucent and reflective materials I am using lend themselves to the creation of spectacular lighting effects, using both natural and electrical light sources. Changing the surface texture by abrasion or corrosion also adds further depth to these works.
