ABOUT
The Austrian-born artist’s creative interests were always bigger, and so his first detailed professional training led him into the world of fashion, starting at the HLM Wr. Neustadt in Lower Austria where he first received and completed his professional drawing lessons in the subjects of fashion drawing, nature study-color theory and graphics. This is how his love for art and creative work started.
His greatest wish was to study at the Vienna Conservatory. In 1994 he graduated with a stage diploma in the subjects “acting and operetta” and “solo singing”. After many different engagements in theaters and as an artist on stage and for various performances in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, he returned to Vienna in 2004.
In 2005 he was responsible for the reopening and organization of the restaurant at the Meierei-Gaaden near Mödling in Lower Austria, where he is still actively involved in operational management, creative fields, events and art exhibitions and as the restaurant’s host.
In 2008 he founded the summer theater events Theatermeierei (http://www.theatermeierei.at) in Gaaden near Mödling, where successful and popular performances include comedies by W. Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Carlo Goldoni, George Feydeau and Johann N. Nestroy.
As a director he is head of production and responsible for many creative tasks such as directing, designing the stage set and even creating the costumes.
Since 2017 he decided to devote again more time to fine arts and is actively engaged as an action artist with the “performing arts”. He published his first exhibition in 2018 under the title “Art and Nature” in the Lower Austria area, with the topic of environmental problems, sustainability with pictures and objects in various techniques.
Since 2020 he studies painting and process / printmaking as a major at the Vienna School of Art. During the pandemic he has been actively working on an exhibition currently entitled as “stay at home”, with collage themes from the golden 50s and oil paintings with abstract floral motifs.
In 2021 he was part of a group exhibition in Vienna with the title “Seven Million Colors”, where he presented his acrylic screenprint paintings under the title “Transformation”.
His latest exhibition was in January 2023 in Vienna under the title “Days in b/w”. In addition to creative developments, he is currently working on his diploma project for June 2023 at the Vienna Art School.
