My work encapsulates a colorful and intensive confrontation with the present, while underscoring my special curiosity for the “here” and “now”.

Since I was a child, I have observed, communicated and enjoyed my surroundings with a special charm of awareness and openness. Since then, I have been visited over 70 countries. The deep layers of life have always fascinated me. I am keen on understanding and analyzing the variety of beautiful answers to crucial and less crucial questions of life, and am convinced that one can never stop learning. I strongly believe that complex situations often requires creative solutions, being it while exploring the world traveling or when working on professional projects. Along the way, I have learned that life is a struggle for many of us. To show how different life can be, depending on the society and community we are living in, is the major driver for my work. This led me also to found the non-profit initiative ‘Stella Enabling Education’ (www.stella-enabling-education.org). This pro bono work crowns my personal value scheme of life.

When I was ten years old, my grandfather presented me with a camera. Since then, the camera became one of my best companions next to my drawing pens and note books. As much as I enjoy the outgoing part of my personality, I enjoy calm moments by myself when I am painting, drawing or writing, and digesting my experiences in peace.
