My path combines craftsmanship, design, and artistic exploration across different countries and disciplines.

You  can continue with my story or jump directly to the facts. 

 

story: 

I had the privilege of growing up in a small village in Germany, surrounded by forests, fields, and my family’s carpentry workshop. This environment shaped me deeply, alongside an innate sensitivity to the invisible — subtle, ever-present forces that continue to guide both my life and my work. From this foundation, my artistic expression emerges.

I trained as a cabinet maker, complemented by courses in wood sculpture, where I developed a hands-on understanding of material and transformation. In the years that followed, I spent extended periods exploring the world — restoring furniture, working across different cultures, and navigating the seas as part of sailing crews in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

 

This path naturally led me to study interior architecture in Germany, Scotland, and the United States. While my focus was on spatial design, I also expanded my artistic practice through sculpture, metalsmithing, and various art classes, particularly during my time in the United States. Art has always been a companion in my life, initially more in the private sphere, but steadily becoming more present.

Since making Madrid my home in 2003, I have lived and worked here as an interior architect, while my artistic practice has gradually grown into an increasingly central part of my life. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to contribute to numerous projects, for which I am deeply grateful: homes, shops, restaurants, offices, exhibitions, events, and even the interior design of a sailing yacht. These projects form the portfolio I continue to build today, working both independently and in collaboration with other professionals.

 

Alongside this, working with the energetic qualities of spaces is a central part of my practice. It is an area I feel deeply connected to. I work with Feng Shui, based on extensive training, as well as other practices I have studied, to create and harmonize spaces that support balance and well-being.

 

Art became a more prominent part of my professional life in 2013, when a group of friends and I took over a beautiful space (Urgel3) in Carabanchel, one of Madrid’s emerging art districts, a highly enriching experience shaped by inspiration and mutual support.

Today, I feel very fortunate to be part of La Tercera Nave Art Studio in Carabanchel, where I work alongside a group of inspiring contemporary artists. You are warmly invited to visit and experience the energy of our creative space.

 

Looking back, I see how seemingly separate paths have gradually found their way toward one another. Craftsmanship, design, travel, architecture, the energetic qualities of space, and art have become different expressions of the same search.

Today, I feel less interested in arriving at answers than in continuing to deepen the questions that guide my work. Above all, I hope to encourage a way of seeing that reveals the quiet intelligence, beauty and coherence held within the living world—and, perhaps, our own place within it.
