GRADUATE DESIGNER & PAINTER

Born in Geneva, Switzerland in 1980, I moved to the South-West of Germany at the young age of six. Growing up, I spent summers in a village near Barcelona, Spain, and winters skiing in the mountains. These memories of beautiful landscapes and colorful surroundings have become significant subjects in my paintings.
Creativity has been a constant companion throughout my life, from drawing portraits as a child to crafting abstract landscapes as a teenager. My academic journey led me graduating at the University of Applied Sciences in Trier and later into a career in the fashion industry as a leading designer, where I honed my skills and artistic sensibility. Reflecting on my journey, including my time in fashion, has refined my artistic style.
The Covid-19 pandemic afforded me the opportunity to delve deeper into my passion, ultimately leading me to embrace my true identity as a professional painter in September 2020. Since then, my art has garnered recognition worldwide, adorning the walls of private collections, public buildings, and offices in various countries, including Germany, Cyprus, Sweden, Spain, Ireland, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Portugal, UK, Switzerland, Canada, USA, Australia, China, Japan, and UAE.
My life as an artist is centered around my small studio in Bielefeld, where I find tranquility and inspiration.
