My artwork would not be the same if it were not the result of a rich background in impressions and positive life experiences in my time in São Paulo. This constantly reinventing, booming metropolis combines a multitude of different cultures into a unique performance that is constantly in flux. This attitude to life continues to be an important source of inspiration for me. Cultural understanding, joy of life, sincere emotionality and living and cultivating family ties are important pillars in my life, whether in Switzerland or in Brazil.
