His works are rooted in complex perceptions. These include observing
topographic and geological events and experiencing the forces of nature, such as water and ice, as well as their uncontrollable power represented by earthquakes and
volcanoes. His works are also influenced by issues related to
Heimat and identity,
digital revolution and poetry. Having grown up in the same town as Hölderlin, his childhood experiences were similar to the poet's, sharing images and impressions. Many of his works can be considered a sort of dialogue with Hölderlin. His creative output extends beyond sculpture and includes drawing and frottage whose essence is similar to that of his sculptures: soaring motifs break free from the ground thus bringing a poetic element into his work. A decisive attitude and a peculiar formal language are typical of all his artistic expressions. In recent years he has created
drifting sculptures (1997–2002) in Japan / Germany and works exploring different themes such as
tunnel,
cave,
section (2003–2008),
excavations,
hidden spaces (2009–2010),
waves,
currents,
rhythms,
ice age stones and
inner dimension (since 2011). '''Approaches to Hölderlin's imagery''' In 2013 he exhibited the outcomes of his artistic dialogues with
Hölderlin's poems and their common birthplace in
Lauffen am Neckar at the
Goethe-Institut Nancy, France. Through visual means he tries to connect with Hölderlin's poetry and pay tribute to his highest artistic achievements. In this connection, senses are essential to approach the poet's thought and imagery. In 2013 he created works inspired by fragments of Hölderlin's river poems, such as
the enchained current and
the rage of currents. == Solo exhibitions (selection) ==
