Early Beginnings (1986-2017)

Born in Wolfsberg, Carinthia in 1986. At 18 moved to Vienna, Austria, where I studied Theater, Film & Media studies. Started my career in the film industry as a Set Manager for Austrian television – coordinating productions but always dreaming of more creative pursuits.

Discovering Thailand (2017)

A life-changing trip through Thailand where I met my girlfriend. This journey would eventually lead me to call this beautiful country my new home and change the course of my life completely.

Covid Catalyst (2020)

Moved to Thailand just as COVID hit. When the film industry shut down, I rediscovered my passion for art, invested in digital equipment, and started creating. This became my artistic awakening – I haven’t stopped since.

NFT Revolution (2021)

Entered the Web3/NFT space in 2021 and found my artistic community. Created hundreds of digital pieces, thousands of NFTs, and built amazing connections with fellow artists, especially in the Solana ecosystem.

Back to Reality

This whole NFT hype was fun while it lasted. Eventually life went back to normal, I started to continue to evolve my skills by studying Game Design at Raffles International College in Bangkok. I even got hired to become a part time educator there for a while.

Experience Matters

Like many artists, my story started with a pencil and a blank page. Today, my primary medium is digital, where I translate decades of experience into original illustrations across a wide variety of styles. My deepest passion, when it comes to Illustration, lies in Character Art—capturing the essence of a subject through precise digital craftsmanship.

While my roots are in static illustration, my creative spirit often leads me into the world of movement. Over the years, I’ve expanded my toolkit to include motion graphics and 2D character animation. There is a unique fulfilment in taking a character or a concept I’ve worked hard on and giving it a pulse—transforming still frames into living, breathing stories.

Motion Graphics &
Animation

As a digital creator, I believe in staying at the forefront of technology. My interest in 3D art stems from a deep appreciation for game design and interactive environments. Currently, I am expanding my expertise in Blender, focusing on modern modeling techniques to bridge the gap between 2D illustration and 3D space. This allows me to offer a more comprehensive suite of creative solutions for any digital landscape.

3D Art

In an era of rapid technological shifts, I view the emergence of AI not as a threat, but as a formidable catalyst for creativity. While the conversation around AI art is often polarized, I see it as a high-capacity tool that expands the horizon of what’s possible. By integrating image and video generation into my workflow, I’m able to rapidly prototype concepts and realize complex visions that were once out of reach, blending human intuition with the raw power of machine learning.
