Drawing is my absolute passion

There is probably nothing I would rather do than draw and paint. Many people have a romantic idea of an artist who can easily draw a photo. In fact, there is a lot of work going into each and every painting job. Starting with the selection and combination of the right templates (photos). And especially in the case of family portraits, the arrangement of the people and the background. Thanks to my many years of experience with such special orders, I know exactly what is important and can meet almost all my customers' wishes.

For me it is an absolutely unique moment every time when something suddenly comes to life on the previously white cardboard box. If I succeed in capturing the essence of a person or a favorite animal, that is the greatest for me. For particularly challenging projects, I like to call on my inner perfectionist to meet these demands on my work.

Each picture tells a story that I want to bring to life with my drawing skills.

Pictures show the special relationship between the people (and animals) depicted, which needs to be expressed through the individual lines on the drawing board or canvas.

Often there is no such thing as a perfect photograph that fully shows this special connection. Then I am happy if I can fulfill this special wish of my customers with my skills that have been tried and tested for over 20 years. An expression of a special connection held for eternity.

For me it is always a very special pleasure to be able to hand over finished pictures personally. When I see how touched and happy my customers are, I am touched and then I know I did a good job.

I already loved drawing at school. As a very visual person who has his strength in spatial imagination and the handling of graphic forms, angles and depths, it quickly became clear to me that photo realism is what I like most.

I prefer to draw with special charcoal pencils or colored pencils on Bristol board. This firmer cardboard enables a particularly detailed drawing, which makes the special expression of my works of art. But I'm also discovering oil painting more and more because it offers other possibilities to play with colors. Mixing colors has always been a lot of fun for me.
