About this artwork
In my cycle PECHBLENDE I deal in a very personal way with different representations of masculine roles and their perception.
Through the painterly self-portrait in the broader sense, I sensitively question archetypal male images with their ambivalent facets against the background of my own [sexual] identity, from macho to prince, and how these are placed in a context of desire, beauty and amorous interest through affirmation or appropriation. I… talk about playing with the poses, roles and clichés of [gay] masculinity - how existing images are adapted, reproduced and reinterpreted. These can oscillate between erotic attraction and lustful deterrence.
This raises questions: At what points do the characters become vulnerable? Where do their outlines become blurred? What still seems to be staged, and when does it become a fundamental requirement?

In his works he illustrates the universality and migration of symbols and signs, evoking an emotional reflection across cultures and generations.
