Photographs are snap-shots of the life, but each photograph has more content than a whole movie. The fantasy is filling each picture with emotions and makes out of it a episode of life.
You can see and feel the “before” and the “afterward”
The phote begin to “live”… and this intrigued me since my younger days.
First at all with my paintings, later with my photographies I try to tell stories. Sometimes a photo is the beginning of an episode, sometimes the end.
Erotic and sex are the most powerful driving forces of mankind. Wars were fought, people are killed and suicides are commited only to satiate the lust.
Even big empires like Troja were destroyed because of love and sex.

So it is obvious to connect art and erotic.
Erotic is so multifaceted and contains dancing, lyrics, music, the display of affection… but also fetishism and sadomasochism. This is the reason for me to combine all these styles.

The color black is a symbol for the BDSM- scene, but black is very colourful!
My art shall show these colours. It is not only pain and indignity, but faith and devotedness.
