As a sculptor autodidact

Welcome!

The site offers a small summary of my sculptures, graphical work and commissions over the years. Except for the commissions and one or two contemporary made objects, most of the works displayed on this site are for sale. 

The graphics and drawings – woodcuts, dry needle prints and drawings in ink – are deliverable in principle without passepartout or frame; at a cost price though, both can be supplied. More info by means of contact.
