Since my youth I was Influenced by my mother, who created beautiful naive paintings in a Swiss country style. I am a passionate collector of art and bought many great works, mostly from Romanian and Italian artists. Two years ago, I got a picture from Gunnar Zyl (Germany) and one from Okyes (Spain), both great street art painter. By hanging them on the wall I got the kick finally to create my own paintings. I mostly paint with acryl on canvas and like to express emotions in my work. And of course I am a big fan of Salvador Dali!

Born in July 1959 in Switzerland I grow up in a town on the lake of Constance. I studied teacher at the university of Zurich and worked some years in several schools. Due to my interest on computer science, I accepted the opportunity to learn computer programming at a big Swiss bank. I worked 3 decades as a software engineer and CTO in different companies. All along my professional career I played guitar in local funk bands. During clear nights you can find me often outside taking photos of galaxies and mysterious nebulas.

I have been married for 30 years and have 3 adult children. My wife is from Romania, where we will definitely move next year.

I have now reached the third part of my life and found finally the necessary rest to investigate my passion for painting.
