Sculptural forms between organic flow and geometric order
– rooted in ceramics as an exploration of movement, space, nature – and the play of light
My work draws inspiration from natural forms as well as from experimental explorations of geometric loops. Rooted in ceramics, I create sculptural pieces with an organic, rhythmic presence – reduced in form, crafted with precision, and guided by a clear aesthetic.
Realized as glass light installations, lenticular wall works, or bronze sculptures, these pieces enter into a dialogue with space and nature.
Both perspectives — the fluid and intuitive, and the constructive and rigorous — converge within my practice, where they find their own balance.

Ceramic, 13×16x14 cm — The ceramic sculpture forms the origin of my multimedia glass art, which in turn is the basis of my lenticular works.
I received important impulses during my studies with Sabine Classen at the Free Ceramic Academy in Grötzingen. Her guiding principle "Movement becomes Form" has shaped my understanding of form development just as deeply as the geometric and mathematical approach of Max Bill, whose works follow the tradition of Concrete Art . One of his influential sculptures is titled "Double surface with 6 right-angled corners"
Both perspectives – the free, flowing gesture and constructive rigor – converge in my work and find their own balance.
