"Selery and Apples"

It is his concerns
in making changes visible
by his own way
in our exiting time.

_____"Red cabbage"

The most of the subjects created by him are woodcarving.
The affinity to woodcarving has different reasons:

• Contact with wood in the wood turner workshop of his grandfather
• Bookbinder profession of the father
• first woodcarving printed by his father already at an age of 8 years
• time-shared and personal close to the Masters in woodcarving
  • Frans Masareel
  • Wilhelm Munch
  • Schmidt-Rottluff
