Projects: I' m currently working on a multitude of new pieces. I have discovered that I like the idea of an artwork (traditional painting) being multifunctional,so I make paintings that have a fully functioning clockwork as part of their composition or a light source with an on/off switch. My main interest concerning painting techniques at the moment is glazing and how painting light underlines the mood of a piece. When it comes to sculpture, I am focussing on becoming more realistic in fabricating faux-taxidermy animals as well as achieve a more realistic portrayal of people, especially lifesize children (silicone skin with correct texture and coloration, hairpunching,acrylic eyes etc.) ​

Location: Germany

These two piglets were cast from one sculpture (in chavant NSP medium), molded in fiberglass and cast in platinum silicone. The fur consists of mohair in different colors and every hair was punched individually. The eyes and thorns as well as the stand were made out of resin and are handpainted. The bottom of the stand has the individual name of the creature on it and a gold leaf finish. The piglets are balancing their own weight and are sort of " free floating" . They are meant to be sold as a set of two.
