​

My works are inspired by phenomenon and aesthetic of the mass media. Central is the Montage as an artificial practise. By combining found photographs and text fragments, drawing and painting, I develop and produce somehow absurd collages, but also richly allusive compositions. By a symbolic picturial language the works offer an ironically critical commentary on the divers social and political subjects.

The works are realized as collage, painting, drawing, skreenprint on wood, canvas or paper.
