My background is in fine art. I studied painting at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf before turning to illustration. This artistic foundation continues to shape my work today, particularly in my approach to composition, atmosphere and visual storytelling.
My illustrations focus on people, narrative and atmosphere, often combining a painterly sensibility with the expressive qualities of drawing. I work with pencil, ink and watercolor, but also digitally, where I aim to preserve the immediacy and character of traditional drawing.
My work spans editorial illustration, posters, storyboards, character design and animation. In recent years, animation has become an increasingly important part of my practice, including projects for German television documentaries.
One particularly meaningful project was an animation for the permanent exhibition at the Munich Palace of Justice, telling the story of the trial and sentencing of members of the White Rose resistance group under the Nazi regime.
