Who am I?
I studied classical music at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and philosophy at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
Being an autodidact I pursued my passions for photography, painting and printmaking alongside my studies as a violist. These disciplines have influenced me deeply in my current work as a composer and artist.
I use all my crafts to enrich and align the fields where I am working to create deeper meaning and understanding. Mastering multiple disciplines is expansion, not distraction. It is a process of intertwined translation.
I work as a musician, composer and artist but most of all I enjoy to combine multiple disciplines in order to create works of extended complexity that transport the message of a coherent and connected whole.
