Between the real, the surreal and the fantastic. The absurd is combined with the familiar, depth psychology with the joyfully playful. The viewer dives into unknown worlds in which the laws of nature have to give way to the imagination. He then remains connected to the real world and its problems via consciously laid traces of association. My artistic medium is the digital photo collage, which I have been experimenting with for over 20 years. The work always begins with real set pieces, deliberately or spontaneously photographed by me in the "real world". On the computer, pictorial spaces are created in a color culture that is based on the opulence of the "old masters" and conveys a certain timelessness, full of idiosyncratic pictorial inventions and philosophical allusions.
