I work as multidisciplinary conceptual artist in the Fine Arts context. My mediums range from Oil painting to video. As an artist I have experiences with research based projects, concept building, world building and narrative story telling.


During my career I have amassed experiences in curation, event organization, communication, promotion and graphic design.


As an artist I have had the chance to be exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions. Recent solo shows include Modern Animals (2024, Zurich) and ?!?!?! IMAGINE BETTER ?!?!?! (2022, Zurich). Notable group exhibitions include the 2nd Quanzhou International Image Biennial in China and Control, ZHdK’s Fine Arts MA exhibition in 2023.


My artistic contributions explore themes of language, structural relationships and memory.
