A portfolio with proof of work

I am a german native, a largely self-taught visionary photo and digital artist working across photography, painting, drawing, digital art, and AI-driven image creation.A transformative awakening emerged once from an identity crisis shaped by childhood hardship, the wounded child, and was leading to the healing of this inner child: a rebirth happened.The only tech and art at this time was photography.I am therefor not searching for my identity at this new intersection between tech and art because all my creativity already evolves out of the self, the dance between the unconscious and conscious.

My background in photography is analogue, beginning at a private photo school and spanning film sets, darkroom practice, and some commercial work. Since 2016, I have developed an intuitive, non-conformist process of creating from digital green outdoors “formlessness,” **experimentation**, into new imaginative forms.Originating from my editing process and practice since 2000, this self-directed project is driven by exploration of the medium itself, **authenticity** 

My work explores transformation, movement, and emotional **resonance**, often resisting the static nature of the digital image. I continuously rework my own source material, integrating photography, drawing, creating with AI or without it.While engaging with AI since 2023, I approached it first as if shooting with a camera motordrive until I could balance it and slow down to review it again.

My background is analogue photography.I spend several years on film sets as a stills photographer (often shoot from the same angle as the cinematographer to capture the exact action, but from a perspective that allows for clean, promotional images (sometimes referred to as "stills from the film").I worked in black and white photo labs and assisted a fashion photographer as well as for a year or two for advertisment ski wear and BMW as an in-house photographer in Munich Germany and then began a new chapter.Later I collaborated with Henry Boxer Gallery, worked in book cover art via a photo library for several years and submitted works to wise.art platform,a portfolio with proof of work, authentically since 2023.

The "imperfection" AI art is a counter-movement against the hyper-polished, sterile, and "too perfect" visuals .I was actively and intentionally reintroducing flaws—to evoke authenticity, warmth, and human emotion.I did not view AI  as a replacement, but as a "co-creator" that handles, or is guided to produce, imperfect outcomes, leading to more "surreal silliness" and experimental art rather than just realistic photo replacements.This is meanwhile a trend.I didn't folIow trends.As AI evolves, I remain rooted in my own direct experience expanding into new projects.
