I was painting and constructing a lot as a child - getting good feedback for my pictures and buildings. Up to the age of 17 I had already done even huge oil paintings, copying out calendars and painting nature themes. My first art prize was to win a book on painting - and I continued with great application. One of my first "big loves" (in the sense of respected authority figures) was my art teacher at that time.

Also during school times I did my first magazin graphics and wrote articles, my political interest was growing fast now. Still today my 'picture of the world' is mostly a background of my artistic works - and I hope that search for truth, improvising of living conditions, and harmonising the environment is still on my agenda.

After' highschool I went to Berlinand joined the subculture, living 3 years in a cultural centre, called 'KuKuCK', where I experienced and experimented a lot in art-projects with musicians, painters and political or ecological oriented artists. I didn't finish my sociology degree now, but cared more about living art processes in those days. During the first 4-year period of a massive public appearance I did quite a famous mural, worked artisticly on bill-board advertising, painted and made music. This era ended aprupt. We had to give up the dream of a big cultural centre - but, as a cultural peer group, "KuKucKs" set in motion a lot in Kreuzberg afterwards, and opend up the legendary "SO36" concert hall again.

During the calmed down mid eighties, I took up a job as a vegetarian cook and experienced how to run a 'business at my own risk'. From 1987 onwards I decided to go on beeing an artist. I had my breakthrough and became a professional with my successful graphic works for the German Aids Foundation. From that time on I took over more and more responsibility in cultural and artistic projects.

In 1990 I took over the 'Interglotz Gallery' from the SO36 Club to which I belonged. Building up a network of artists, doing exhibitions, and making a living through my own art projects was the main aim now. During the course of my social activities, I interacted with teachers, graffiti-kids, local cultural workers and artists using different media.

I began to work with clay and natural materials at this time creating huge sculptures made from earth, big wall paintings, murals and legal graffiti (often 'on job' in educational context) and bought my first Macintosh computer. Again a time of intensive studies began. In May 1998 - after seven interesting years - I gave up the gallery, ending an era tuned into the frequency of the Kreuzberg-hood. I started to travel with my art projects now and got a bigger perspective towards everything now.

In Berlin I concentrated on the Makunaima project during the past 15 years. A lot of harmony between nature and architecture is already achieved. Still actual is the building of a huge labyrinth beneath the earthen village..
