"As far as I know there is no artist
focusing on the same style like I do.
My art reflects the modern digital
zeitgeist of today's generation. It is
abstract, pixelated, flashy and gaudy.
"I started to play with pixels on
computers more than 20 years ago when
I was I teenager.
"Back in the 90s I used a computer to
start my own internet company at the
age of 19. I was surrounded by geeks,
hackers and other innovators in the
field of information technology. In
these days computers were not really
part of our lives like today and I was
fascinated to create art with these
new electronic tools.
"Old school video games (played on
computers like Commodore, Atari or
consoles like Nintendo) definitely
influenced my perception and my style
of today.
"The process of creating a new computer
and pixel art piece is structured but
also chaotic and there are several
creative phases and working steps to
take. From the empty screen to the
final art piece, it can take a few
hours up to a few weeks."
