PX3
I have created the series during covid restrictions where it was difficult to create images with humans involved. Instead, I shifted my focus on animals during lockdown times. The result, is this new collection called “WILD LENS”, which puts horses in the focus and out of focus.
The annual PX3 exhibition with all winning entries will take place at the 24b Gallery, Paris, November 7 to 12, 2023 during Paris Photo Week.

Event: EXHIBITION NEUES KUNSTHAUS AHRENSHOOP
Dates: 13 Dec 2025 - 23 Mar 2026
I´m delighted to be a part of the group exhibition “INVENTORY: PERSONAL” at the NEUES KUNSTHAUS AHRENSHOOP.
The exhibition showcases the multifaceted nature of printmaking – exploring the interplay between figure and expression. The focus is on the human being – their form, their presence, their inner and outer movements. From studies to abstracted forms, from portraits to staged scenes, the works unfold a vibrant picture of figurative printmaking today.
Featuring works by Angela Hampel, Ute Laux, Emma Gunnarsson, Angelique van Wesemael, Klaus Walter, Sven Pfrommer, and Kerstin Ostwald. Complemented by sculptures by Lothar Seruset and Reinhard Thürmer. Curated by Tina Flau.
Opening on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 5 p.m.
Exhibition dates: December 14, 2025 – March 23, 2026

Event: MOTION STATES AT CREATIVE GAME
Dates: 1 Aug 2025 - 15 Aug 2025
Opening Night Reflections – MOTION STATES at Creative Game Gallery, Berlin
The vernissage of MOTION STATES at Creative Game Gallery in Berlin was an unforgettable evening, full of energy, dialogue and inspiring encounters. From the moment the doors opened, the gallery space transformed into a vibrant hub where art, movement and conversation flowed seamlessly into one another. Friends, collectors, fellow artists and curious newcomers gathered to explore the works, many drawn to the luminous surfaces and blurred silhouettes that define the series. Rather than rushing through the rooms, the audience took time to observe — mirroring the premise of the exhibition: that movement isn’t a moment, but a state.
There is still time to see the show until August 15, 2025
Closing event: Friday, August 15, 7 p.m.
