The artist about his work:
My work in the past few years focuses on columns und capitals. Inspired by classical modern sculptors, I attempt to create columns as an essential ingredient in construction and to reintegrate sculpture in architecture. Most of my columns are poured in white concrete. They may be reinforced and then also used for structural support. They are suitable for architecture, interior decoration and parks or gardens. In addition to columns, I create wall reliefs from alabaster, white concrete or cast metal. Here again I strive for clear esthetic form, partition and proportion. My work attempts a synthesis of simplicity and clear esthetics.
