My résumé, special thanks, and projects to come:


After this intense year in very special places, and with official support for my Symbols of Democracy series, I will continue to work on the project in and outside Europe, and expose in various countries.

I consider it important to give a positive statement of democracy in the current political situation worldwide, and I am glad to be helped by many institutions.


I would like to give special thanks to the French Sénat, the World Conference Center in Bonn, the State Representation of Rhineland-Palatinat in Berlin, and the German Consulate in Wroclaw for their warm welcome and great support.

Furthermore, I would like to thank the CCI and the 5ème lieu in Strasbourg for making it possible to paint in their historic halls.


Besides the Symbols of Democracy series, I will also take up a different topic again: the portrait - and experiment with fabric and abstract compositions. This will enrich my current work, and I am quite excited to see the results!
