The danceshool SEAD is an international well known dance school based in Salzburg. For my whole live i was fascinated by dancing especially by modern dance. Therefore it was obvious to book models from the dance school. What i didn´t expect was how inspiring the meeting with the pupils will be. The energy, presence, elegance and the improvisation talent made them ideal models for me. In my work i try to capture these elements. The real obvious parallel between painting and dancing is the balance between calm and energy.
 the ring 5oil on canas 120x100cm The swim ring is a compelling visual element for me. It deliberately does not blend into the cool, greyish color palette of the painting and instead creates a strong visual accent. At the same time, it evokes associations with childhood, summer, and lightness, thus standing in a conscious tension with the restrained mood of the work. In the background, the Traunstein in Gmunden can be seen. It forms a warm contrast to the rather cool skin tones of the girl. |  performance 2 120x80 2025In this work, I once again place the themes of performance and staging at the center. The small curtain positioned to the side serves as a reminder that we always move on a stage whether consciously or unconsciously. The ruffled collar refers to earlier centuries, when making an impressive appearance was just as important as it is today. Together with the classical background, it becomes a homage to the old masters. |  balance SOLDÖl auf Leinwand 120x100cm 2024 The dramatic composition, the serious, focused expression, and the gloomy forest in the background suggest that this is about more than just a teenager playing with building blocks. She arranges the blocks with great precision—it seems to be of crucial importance. |

 wings, oil on canvas 140x100cm 2025This is my latest work, "Wings", oil on canvas, 140 x 100 cm. The girl isn’t really an angel, and the wings aren’t real — she’s simply playing with the idea and enjoying it. The composition, color palette, and theme are strongly influenced by William Bouguereau, whom I greatly admire. No one could mix skin tones more beautifully than he could. However, his subjects are often hopelessly sentimental — something I’ve approached here with a playful wink. |  the red thread, oil on canvas 110x90cm 2025oil on canvas 110x90cm 2025 With closed eyes and an almost tender gesture, the girl ties a brightly red thread around her neck. This act can carry a multitude of meanings. Is it a conscious act of self-binding, or an admission of belonging, love, or responsibility? Perhaps she is also freeing herself from a bond, and the bow will be undone. |  stand up, oil on canvas 150x90cm 2025The dark forest and the constricting composition suggest an imminent threat. The expression on the girl's face, as well as her posture, convey a palpable tension. One wonders what she sees—has she just emerged from the forest, or is she about to step into it? I enjoy creating such scenes because they immediately spark a story in the viewer's mind, allowing their imagination to take flight. |
 vision , oil on canvas, 140x100x2cm 2024The girl's expression and pose in my painting are meant to convey a sense of religious rapture, as if she were experiencing a vision or divine revelation. The barren, simple landscape enhances the feeling of solitude and introspection. With this composition, I aim to pay homage to old masters like William Bouguereau and Caravaggio, who depicted similar themes with great emotional depth. The seriousness of their work fascinates me and inspires my own artistic exploration. |  the ring 3Öl auf Leinwand 140x100cm 2024 |  "performance" 120x80cm 2024A good performance is very important!! That’s why I gave the girl a fantastic setup. A curtain, a dramatic background, and even a bow. It has to turn out well. |
 the ring 2Öl auf Leinwand 120x100cm 2023 The ring constricts and squeezs the man and he wants to get out but somehow he seems to snuggle and stroke it. What do you think the ring stands for? |  wilderness, oil on canvas 150x90cm 2023 |  Klammern, Öl auf Leinwand 140x100cm 2023The boy embraces the girl around her waist, his face hidden, giving him a submissive appearance. Yet the strength of his grip also feels demanding. The girl gazes down at him with an expression difficult to read, somewhere between sadness and compassion. In the background, a vast landscape stretches out, evoking a sense of freedom that she secretly seems to long for. |
