Madrid, Spain
I was born and raised in Berlin, Germany.
Nothing could define me more.
Much of my childhood seems straight out of Roberto Rossellini's "Germania anno zero".
Although I lived for several years in London and Paris before I settled in Madrid, I suppose, for me it will always be, "Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin".
I graduated from Madrid's San Fernando School of Fine Arts, the same place where Goya, Picasso, Juan Gris and Dali received their rigorous and classic academic training.
After finishing my studies, I worked for many years in abstract expressionism and alchemic symbolism. At the moment my interest is in exploring the new technologies.
