Artist Statement

With roots in both Canada and Germany, my creativity benefits from the culmination of life on two continents. It is this meaningful cultural experience that fuels my motivation to realize my art work. It traversed the path of my personal development as an architect many times. For my work as a sculptor, this has resulted in my intention to translate my ideas with simple universal shapes in a clear formal language. With my aesthetic ideals, such as harmony, eternity and mystic, I wish to underline the emotive potentialities of my work.
