Since many years I admire the work of Frank O´Gehry and LeCorbusier. I was almost addicted to their work and I could not wait to visit Waterfalls and Dessau. For designs and paintings I early liked Eilieen Gray and Tamara de Lempicka. When I realized that I will never be able to own an original Lempicka I started to copy her work. Thanks to my mother' s artistic talent and many interests we always had oil colours and canvas lying around at home. Back in 1985 I copied the first Tamara painting, some years before the big Lempicka boom started. Thanks to Tamara I started painting portraits. Years later, in Florence, I discovered the Renaissance, DaVinci and- my hero- Michelangelo. That is probably why I started to study more about biomechanics and started to use them in my drawings and paintings since ~ 2002.
