I never worked in Main-Stream-Art, started with still life, changed to portraits and Trompe-l´œil and finally to phantastic realism.
A special “baby” of mine are reflexions of Albrecht Dürer, that means I give an engraving or a painting a new shape and a new meaning. Over the years there are now 22 interpretations.
