I was born in Berlin-Pankow on October 25, 1971, and grew up in Berlin-Friedrichshain. I attended the Heinrich Zille Elementary School. Afterwards, I completed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and later as a tile setter. My interest in art began in school during art classes, where some of my works (watercolors and linocuts) were even shown at the children's and youth art exhibition. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to study art formally. I consider myself a self-taught artist who enjoys experimenting with new craft techniques. My main focus is on mosaics, which I create on wooden surfaces. My second interest is acrylic painting.
