From the Isar to the Neckar

My passion for psychology and art began right on the Isar, in the heart of Munich. I wrote my thesis as part of the Abitur examination on a book fragment by Ingeborg Bachmann and a picture by Francisco Goya: "Existential anxiety based on the book by Franza and Goya's work Kronos".

Since the topic of business was important to me at the same time, I studied business administration at the LMU Munich and then the HfWU Nürtingen-Geislingen in marketing and industrial psychology - (again) with a focus on art and this time its effect on the economy (Bachelor's thesis).

What art is to me

Art can do so much - both when looking at it and when creating it.


As an artist, I focus on portraits, mostly of women, who have a strong message to tell, deep emotions and beautiful colors.

I usually use mixed media based on acrylic and watercolor, fineliners, collage textures - to create the portraits in their uniqueness.

Sometimes they are muses, sometimes customer orders - what is important is the personal, individual view of this portrayed figure, which he is allowed to wear venerably to the outside world.


I also show this method in my courses - we learn to transform feelings into art with the help of painting/drawing techniques, art therapy tools and work out a central topic together.

28 psychology and 27 art books adorn my bookshelf. Well over 100 borrowed copies read.

I prefer not to include psychology, art and personal development magazines.

The average coffee consumption during a day devoted to art.

A brush ends up in it at least once and is allowed to immortalize itself on the work of art.
