Art is what we elevate to art
Inconspicuous plant remains, barren seed pods and small remnants of our civilization – I find everything in wondrous order and awakened to surprising life.
For every fragment, no matter how banal, I claim an artistic value and indispensability in the overall composition.
The works only unfold their emotional and complex stories on closer inspection, which I like to work out with bizarre and fragile elements.
For this I use a specially developed collage technique in which countless tiny parts interlock. The result is lively three-dimensional works of art with countless sculptural objects.
Take your time and go along with the countless surprising reinterpretations that can sometimes challenge our everyday perception.
Each of the miniature collages awakens a world of possibilities and shows us that the greatest wonders can be found in the smallest details.
But isn’t this an outdated and romantic view of a paradisiacal world that no longer exists? Don’t we need new paths and perspectives?
Absolutely! Join me on a hopeful search for it. And not in faraway places of longing, but where you are walking and standing right now.
The [UN]apparent worlds of the most banal finds are guaranteed to give you new insights.

My art deals with what is often overlooked:
Found objects, fragments, everyday remnants – things that seem to mean nothing anymore.
I turn them into little stories about change, values and perception.
There is a lot to discover between broken porcelain and flower remnants.
Not loud, but clear.
Attention: May contain traces of poetry.
Time for art is now!
Unique art for unique people
Things are not always what they seem at first glance. Let’s look at things in a completely different way…
…because at second, third and fourth glance, completely new perspectives are possible.
That size is only relative may be an old realization.
With the willingness to be mindful and appreciative of our everyday surroundings, surprising horizons open up. Even in places where we thought we could experience absolutely nothing unique.
Nevertheless, reminding ourselves of this every day quickly brings new insights.
A small moment can sometimes make a big impression. Sometimes it is enough to simply look differently.
Romanticism?
Or everything just 2.0
What good is a romantic view of a paradisiacal world that no longer exists?
Is the romance still there? Or is everything just 2.0 and AI anyway?
Let’s dare to take a new look at things together. I invite you to join me on a hopeful search for new perspectives. And not in distant places of longing, but where we are walking and standing right now.
In my works you will find the most insignificant leftovers. The very last questionable crumbs are elevated to art here – the last remnants of our everyday lives, so to speak.
Take it or leave it…
…Who knows – maybe you will want to look at everything a little differently…
Have fun in the
[UN]Apparent worlds of found objects and tiny remnants
