He has collected over 1 million ball contacts a year. At the age of 10, he staged his own football World Cup in his grandparents' garden in Zehlendorf, with two apple trees serving as goals. In fact, he turned professional at the age of 20, then completed a coaching license at the Cologne-Hennef Sports School and worked as a coach. He was active in the football business for 16 years, experiencing victory and defeat. His active sport was thus lived out.
After that, he was drawn to gastronomy, to Charlottenburg, where he experienced many prominent guests, gained valuable experience and steadfastly asserted himself.
In 1999 he changed sides and moved to the east to Potsdam. There he found himself straight into the collective of bon vivants. As a cineaste and music lover, he became a bar owner. After 12 years in Potsdam and many championships, he went on the offensive and moved to Spain.
Adventure and the danger of failure without a safety net and double bottom accompanied him. With a lot of luck, he organized his modest living in a fancy restaurant. The mixture of hard work and great joy characterized this time.
It was by the sea that he had his first encounter with Picasso: "If I don't have red, I'll take blue". This sophistication fascinated him. Picasso's statements about art and life inspired and inspired him. For him, Picasso's paintings are mathematical equations.
He began to paint bluntly. He stole formwork boards on construction sites, procured brushes and boat paint in the Ferreteria. Lack was his first companion. There was no way back. Creating art is work, not romance. He experienced setbacks, but still sold his paintings.
After six wonderful years in Spain, the final destination came longing and the return home to Potsdam. Is he a copyist? He continues to paint and tries to find his own visual language. What counts for him is passion, attitude and the question of one's own truth. Would you like to know anything else about him?
