About Me

Ever since I was little, grinning skeletons, ghosts, lavishly adorned mummies and monsters of all kinds have been my favourite creatures in stories. The beautifully haunting Gothic tales my father collected seemed a never-ending source of joy for my imagination. Thus, I have been strongly influenced by classic authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde and H. P. Lovecraft – as well as by the illustrators of their magnificent works.  

As an artist and writer who is mostly self-taught, I highly value the independence surrounding my work. My main inspiration comes from the superior beauty of nature and its inexhaustible wealth of endearing forms. I love to take a closer look at flowers and insects to take a grasp of their perfection. Working with a strong ornamental aesthetic, Art Noveau guides me along my way — but also the charm of dark fairytales has influenced my personal style.
