Unveiling Creativity:
My Journey as an Artist Through the Years

I was born in 1989 in Eisenstadt, in the beautiful region of Burgenland.
From an early age, drawing was my greatest passion. While others were playing, I immersed myself in lines, shadows, and faces – always supported by my parents, who recognized my talent early on.

​

Photorealistic drawing with charcoal pencils became my preferred form of expression. To this day, I am fascinated by the moment when individual strokes slowly turn into a face – when a gaze comes alive and the personality behind the subject becomes visible.

​

After graduating, I continued to refine my artistic skills and eventually had the opportunity to work for an international environmental charity organization. My artworks received worldwide recognition and even took me to America. That time was formative – both artistically and personally.

​

At the same time, my path led me into the world of graphic design. Since 2017, I have been self-employed with my own design agency. Yet fine art has always remained a part of me – even during periods when it had to take a step back.

​

Today, I consciously devote myself to it again. My works are created with patience, precision, and deep appreciation for each subject. Whether people, beloved animals, or meaningful places – what matters most is a strong photographic reference and the story behind it.

A personal artwork preserves memories in a unique way.

Perhaps I may capture yours in a drawing as well.
