Actually, I have been painting for as long as I can remember, but I really started in 2005. I am a real estate and housing economy merchant, having worked in large real estate companies for a long time before becoming self-employed in 1995. As an alternative to my demanding, even stressful job, I wanted to do something meditative, something to relax.
I was well aware of my talent for painting, which I discovered early on and which actually ran in the family, as my grandfather was already known for his painting. I started with my Pop art, which I had always been a fan of, and developed my "totalbunt style". I painted famous buildings, monuments, landscapes, cities... Every original piece that I deemed successful, I had printed and created a 3D copy using cutouts (cuts made with a scalpel). This is how my 3D-Cities series came to be. There are now 30 different pieces, and more are being added...
Sculptures with mixed media, such as resin-coated, as well as large wooden 3D pictures, are now part of my repertoire.
Over time, I had so many exhibitions, commissioned works, regular customers, etc., that I have now given up my profession and no longer have time for real estate.
Lately, I have been furthering my education in the crypto space and am working on my own NFT series.
Art is an inexhaustible subject, and so I enjoy creating something new every day.
Feel free to ask me your questions or contact me by e-mail. I look forward to meeting you!
Best regards and enjoy visiting my homepage.
