about/ FVS
Ienvironment have grown up in Germany in a conservative and scientific which let me develop my creativity to break through the strict boundaries. My father handed me down his deep fascination for Nature; as a biologist he guided me to the discovery of the magic world of living organisms. When I established myself as an artist in Maastricht, the Netherlands, I reconnected with this enchantment. The relation and the interaction between human constructed neighborhood and seemingly uncultivated Nature, inspires me. The ties between us, humans, and the natural structures surrounding us fascinate me and leads me to an interpretation of Nature, in my work, as a powerful force that deserves respect, rather than one in need of protection. My creations translate the power lines of flora and fauna into abstract geometries, embodying both strength and beauty of wildlife in its simplest form, sometimes to the edge of recognition. The lines in my work are clear-cut and simplified; my hand-crafted approach creates unique pieces, each with their own specific personality. The diversity of my work reflects the variety in nature. I aim for a fine balance between arithmetic designer, working craftsman and environmentally engaged artist. To be able to share with you the result of my work, a continuously growing collection of pieces were brought together in this book. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to make them.

Ich möchte mich als erstes bei allen meinen Menschen um mich herum bedanken: Familie, Freunde, Galeristen und nicht zuletzt meinen Kunden, die mir die ganze Zeit ihr Vertrauen geschenkt haben und an mich und meine Arbeit geglaubt haben. Ein grosser Dank geht an meinen Mentor Eugene Steijns, der mir alles beigebracht hat, um mit meinen Händen und meiner Seele zu arbeiten. Dies alles wäre aber auch nicht möglich gewesen ohne die Unterstützung und Motivierung meiner Partnerin Marieke Hamelink und Christian, die immer an mich und meine Arbeit geglaubt haben. Ohne sie wäre ich nun nicht soweit, um dieses Buch erstellen zu können. Zu guter Letzt möchte ich mich bei Vicky Katrin bedanken die nicht nur viele Foto’s gemacht hat, sondern auch dieses Buch zusammengestellt hat.

Mijn grote dank gaat aan mijn mentor Eugene Steijns, die mij alles heeft geleerd, om met mijn handen en mijn ziel te werken. Maar dit alles was niet mogelijk geweest zonder de steun en liefde van mijn partner Marieke Hamelink en Christian die mij altijd hebben gemotiveerd. Zonder hen was ik niet op dit punt, om dit boek te maken. Als laatst wil ik Vicky Katrin bedanken die niet alleen veel photo’s heeft genomen voor dit boek, maar ook dit boek samengesteld heeft.
First of all I would like to thank everyone who surrounded me: family, friends, gallerists and clients, who always trusted me and had faith in my work. A big thank you goes to my mentor Eugene Steijns, who taught me how to work with my hands and with my soul. Finally, all this would not have been possible without the faith and support from my partner Marieke Hamelink and Christian. Without them this book wouldn’t have exist. Last but not least I would like to thank Vicky Katrin, who not only took most of the pictures but who also created this book.
