"The origin of existence is movement " Tractate on Travel, the Kitâb Al-Isfâr

​

Throughout my life, I have tried to integrate my interest in travel, visual and performing arts, music, and architecture into a continuous creative practice.

 

I was taught painting  by Peter Makowetz (AT), which gave me a first structured approach to working visually. Travelling became an important way for me to explore and understand different environments. Writing, photography, and painting developed as parallel ways of capturing and translating these experiences.

​

I later spent more than ten years at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, working with artists, actors, filmmakers, and musicians. This experience encouraged me to move between disciplines rather than focus on a single form of expression.

After leaving Vienna and working within a European organisation, I continued travelling regularly. These movements and encounters remain a central source of inspiration.

​

Photography has become a core part of my practice. I work in different ways depending on the situation — from street photography and portraits to more abstract images that focus on light, colour, or structure. Some projects are more observational, others more experimental.

​

Alongside photography, I continue to work with painting. In series such as Stone Patterns, I translate textures and visual impressions into a different, more material form.

​

Across these different approaches, I am less interested in defining a single style than in exploring what emerges from a place, a moment, or a situation.

Influenced by meditative Zen practice, this process has also become a more inward exploration over time, linked to perception, attention, and movement.
