I am a German self-made jeweller with a part time life between Barcelona and Formentera; in both places a workshop, in both places part of my heart.
I came to Spain in 1993 looking for new horizons after studying Metal Processing and Plasterer in Germany, and in Formentera I started to experiment with techniques and materials in contact with craftsmen world. I’ve learned Jewellery by my own with freedom and patience, always in direct contact and feedback with my clients.

Mother Nature gave me the first inspiration to create jewels with little things found in the forest and the sea, and the studies with industrial metal production, the technical support to develop my creativity. I remember that my first vocation test gave as a result I had skill for this. So I guess it’s been really like developing who you really are, on one side.

Silver and stones have been the main materials in my work. Silver, the noble humble metal, stones: the ancient earth tresors ... I truly don’t know, can create a poem for you about this perhaps, but the fact is that I choose materials among my reach in a very intuitive way. Reason is not always working in the process.

I work with ideas, but my items are created in action, they are created at the working table. There’s a famous saying attributed to Picasso that goes something like “inspiration does exist and sometimes comes, but you’ll better be at your workshop”. And I’m very pragmatic, I don’t theorize.

The place where I live influences my work the same the places I visit when I travel. Everything around me influences my work. I’m not particularly conscious of any special aspect. Let’s allow psychologists do their work, I prefer my one.
