Art always played a significant role in my life and painting is a good way to express feelings and things happening around me. 

I was born and have spent my childhood in Switzerland. With 23 years of age I have moved to the West of Ireland, there I improved my English and then went to the University of Galway to study Film and Video Production. These studies made me see things in frames, so I was drawn back to painting pictures.

   After 7 years  in Ireland, I moved back to Switzerland.  But not for too long. 9 years later, I came to Greece, from where I mainly work now. With this surrounding, my paintings and pictures became more colourful, I think.
