Artist Statement:
Art, creativity and
imagination have always played
an important part in my life,
although I have only started
to fully concentrate on
painting a few years ago.
This passion has always been
part of me. I have finally
given up my work as a general
manager in industry – to
dedicate all my time to
painting. At last I do what I
have always wanted to do. It
is simply that a dream has
finally come true.
Even during my years at
secondary school my paintings
were awarded prizes and I
should have enrolled in art
classes after I passed my
A-levels. In fact, a renowned
company manufacturing ceramics
offered me a scholarship,
which I was unable to accept
at the time.
I have always kept up with
painting as landscapes and
images, abstract and
impressionist. Since some
years now I am able to paint
full-time and fill canvas
after canvas with my ideas.
My new studio is right in the
centre of the village of
Arcegno, surrounded by wooded
hills, near to Ascona, a
well-known tourist centre at
the Lago Maggiore in the South
of Switzerland.
I apply the paints directly to
the canvas with a spatula. ...

Tessiner Zeitung,

"...An intensive, but humorous and composed universe of colors and light opens for the beholder. The geometric form and the division into striped segments constitute the basic stylistic inventory. The segments break the naturalistic gaze and open the viewer’s eyes to the artist’s experience underlying the image.
