The creative Process
How I Create My Art
It took a long time before I started creating art myself. For decades I was a collector – always searching, comparing, admiring. Art has always been part of my life, but mostly from the outside. Only after finishing my professional career did I finally have the time and freedom to become creative myself.
What I create today is neither coincidence nor formula. I’ve seen a lot in the art world: quick effects, a picture that sells, then endless variations of the same style. That may work for others — but it’s not my way. For me, a work must have depth and substance. I use modern digital tools, including AI, yet they only provide the raw material. The real work lies in my selection, my eye, my sense of balance — in deciding what remains and what disappears again.

It often begins with an idea — a photograph of my own, an impression, a feeling. I put that idea into words and let AI create the first drafts. From there, I keep shaping and changing — starting over, again and again. Some images move far from the original thought, others stay closer to it. But each time, I look for that moment when something touches me — a mood, a detail, an unexpected glow. I follow that feeling, deepen it, refine it, until an image emerges that feels true to me — something of my own that stands on its own and is ready to be seen.
Each image is a piece of my journey. It reflects my years as a collector, my joy in shaping things, and my sense of taste. I look for variety and depth — not the one trick that always works. And that’s what I want to share: not a perfect theory, but images meant to move you — sometimes quietly, sometimes powerfully, but always genuinely.
