Carp and clouds in the secret pond
2019I wanted to depict the for elements in one image. The clouds in the blue sky are reflected on the water. The trees on the waterfront need earth to grow and are only visual because of their reflection on the water. Yellowish orange leaves are at the bottom of the pond and because of the ripples, caused by a breeze of air, they look like flames of fire. Thanks to these 4 elements every living creature is able to exist on this planet.
The message of Iris
2019The wild yellow iris are one of my favorite early summer flowers. In the surroundings were I live are a lot of lakes and ponds. Every year around the end of may, thousands of wild yellow iris begin to bloom on the waterfronts. Together with the millions of yellow buttercups in the fields, the message is clear: Celebrate summer!

Fleur de Lis

The partly melancholy look and serene posture refer to selfreflection and a mindful attitude for life.

Lust for life
2016Thanks to our naked body with all its senses, from which the skin is our biggest sense, we are able to experience the world around us very intensive. We are born naked and welcomed with love. A childs life is full of fantasy and discoveries. During the adolescence you look at your own body with a critical view. Teenagers starting to explore erotic feelings carefully. You will never forget your first love. Two bodies, one spirit and a short moment of extasy. The raspberry simbolizes the brief moment of our earthly life. The humming Bumblebee and the Quetzal depict the sexual feelings.
