I was born in the south of Austria on the border with Italy and Slovenia and have been living and working mainly in Vienna since my studies there at the University of Applied Arts. I follow a transmedia approach and work on constantly updating the conventional artistic genres of graphics, painting and objects by reinterpreting them by means of the visual achievements of adjacent cultural fields, such as music, media, youth culture, sport or literature.

The spectrum of my artistic activities is correspondingly diverse: it ranges from drawing, (print)graphics, photography, video, painting, (sound)object and installation to expansive spatial design and performance.

In 2000, my focus on combining visual art and music also led me to perform as an improviser in several band-like and live music formats.
