He is the author of many songs and texts, poems and short stories. Cultural studies in Meißen-Siebeneichen, including fine arts, aesthetics; head of the department for instrumental music at the BHfK (Berlin City Council); youth club leader in Dresden; management of youth facilities in Wedding.

Two sons, two daughters, three granddaughters. Performances and trips have taken him to Paris, Barcelona, Ischia, England, Sri Lanka, Bad Nauheim and always Dresden.


"The world through my eyes" is his first exhibition ever.


Photos taken in the last few decades are on display - the oldest is from 1982. Some are conceptual images, some are snapshots. Cameras used were (among others): Nikon N 4004, Nokia C2-02 mobile phone, Fujifilm FinePix S4800.

As a Dresden native, he knows and loves images - not just paintings. Aesthetic photos are also his thing. He looks for motifs like a painter without a brush.
Only when everything is perfect does he take the picture. Hence the choice of presentation on photo canvas, which is intended to make his captured impressions "picture-like".
