Biography: Belgian painter born in Germany (Gladberg) in 1926, trained at the Dusseldorf Academy, he settled in Belgium in La Louvière in 1948. Began his career with Surrealism then Lyrical Abstraction when he arrived in Belgium, he then evolved towards Hyperrealism (Figurative).
Subsequently, influenced by Pop'Art and Photography, he painted the naked bodies of blurred women, a bit as if a camera had shaken during the shooting. The theme of women is almost omnipresent in his provocative and sensual work, magnified by delicate chiaroscuro effects.
In the Press: "Her works, of dreamlike realism, are constructed in an architectural manner. Her compositions are supported by curves which celebrate feminine grace in a sumptuous setting. Her colors dare to create astonishing contrasts with the pearly, tanned flesh , lascivious of his models"...
