COME CLOSER AND EXPLORE MY
Cinematographic Paintings
Welcome to my website built around my activity as a visual artist.
My
artworks are inspired by the medium of film, in the aesthetic and
staging of the pictures and in their allusion to the imagery of mainly
American movies.
agléonema
I have recently launched my screenprint series Agléonema with an edition of 25. Inspired by the movie Léon - The Professional, the serigraphy centers Léon's caring relationship to his plant which marks a contrast to his occupation as a professional killer.
Recent Artworks
Have a look at my most recent artworks, to get an impression of my current artistic focus. I mainly paint in oil on canvas, but for some time now I have been experimenting with screen printing as well, working on commissions and on personal projects. Click here to view the the full gallery.
Exodus 8:2
Exodus 8:2 is based on a film still taken from the movie Magnolia. During a surreal moment, the main characters observe a shower of frogs falling from the sky. This oilpainting was originated during the time of the pandemic and reflects the mood of this period between fear, disbelief and fascination.
About Me
My passion for art began early during childhood, when
the pencil was a constant companion to express my blooming imagination. Since I have been drawn to cinema and its production process ever since, it quite naturally found its way into my artworks when I became a professional painter.
Born in Munich I lived a couple of years in Sicily where I studied the traditional painting techniques at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania. Following stays in Paris, Montreal and Heidelberg, I moved back to Munich to start a career in the auction market while pursuing my artistic path.
Art for me is a way to slow down, reflect and recognize myself.
Exhibitions
Here are some of the projects that I have participated at in the last years. My works have been exhibited internationally in Italy, France, England and Switzerland. I remain open for collaborations with galleries and artists
that share my passion for art and the movies.
