About me and my work
I live in central Switzerland, in the city of Zug, working as an independent artist. You can see my artistic bio in the 'about my artwork' section of the homepage.
My work focuses on modular construction. By using the golden ratio, Fibonacci proportions and algorithms, a complex work is generated from few or even a single basic element, similar to how a complex organism develops from a single cell.
The single work is always meant to be a representative of a superior constructive principle that can be found everywhere in this universe and that has been defining the harmonic impression of space, proportion and colour for eternities.
The result of this strongly structured approach is a concept - the plan of the work. This plan contains all information about how the elements of the work define themselves and how they relate to each other. When I produce the work, this plan materialises. For production I use industrial materials such as aluminum, sprayed ink, coloured foil and polyurethane.
Every work is unique and made only once. Parts of work are currently represented by the Gallery Kunstwarenhaus, Stockerstrasse 11, CH-8002 Zurich, Switzerland. Click here to visit their web page.
Modular construction: Selected works from 2008 - 2010
My work focuses on planned modular construction: Every work grows from few or even single basic elements that are connected by planned algorithms and thus create a complex work - similar to a biological organism that grows from a single cell. The main menu point "About my artwork" takes you to a text that explains this approach in greater detail. The titles of my works are often ironic or misleading; they refer - if at all - to the place the idea for a work was conceived, but not to the underlying constructive principle.

Direct the mouse pointer right over the image to make a pop-up with more information appear (title, year, way of construction, etc.). Click the 'back' button of your browser to close the album.
If you wish to see the original works, I recommend you visit the gallery Kunstwarenhaus in Zurich that currently represents parts of my work. Alternatively, you can use the contact form (main menu 'contact') to reach me. I will be happy to inform you about current exhibitions where you can see some original works.
