Biography: After leaving school (1967) with a secondary graduate I concluded a professional education as a photographer and graphic designer. In the first time I was an employee of the Bertelsmann publishing house and some years in the publicity department of the Nobilia factory, a producer of furniture and kitchens.

In 1994 I detected the Computer as my personal artistic medium. I gained the necessary knowledge for it in a self taught manner. My artistic work with the computer shows three points of main effort: 1. The graphic work with own photos Digitally edited photo-collages of flowers and landscapes, frequently completed with paintings, expressing the connection between the perceptible picture and imagination. Most of them have been awarded in the annually hold Corel World Design Contest. 2. The work with 3D-programs 3D-illustrations and landscapes in a surrealistic manner also digitally edited and supplemented with paintings. 3. Experimental and abstract works To this category belongs the work with computer generated abstract paintings as a game with colours, forms and filters but also the generating of fractals, the visual presentation of mathematical equations, which result in incredibly beautiful patterns having never been seen before.
