I am a contemporary artist based in Munich. I studied Fine Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich with Anke Doberauer, Axel Kasseböhmer, and Schirin Kretschmann. I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Marburg in 2015 and completed my diploma at the Academy in 2024 under the supervision of Schirin Kretschmann. My work has been shown internationally, including at the Haus der Kunst in Munich. I have participated in international artist residencies, such as in Provence and Tunis. I have been awarded scholarships and prizes, including support from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, the Curt Wills Studio Fellowship, and the Rotary Art Prize. Originally trained in painting, I now work across performance, sculpture, writing, and installation. My work explores human–machine interaction, communication, and the social dynamics that emerge through technology, language, and spatial experience.
