Biography

This web site is about my art. It has been a life long process of learning and studying with my father and my family as described here.

It would include countless travels and hours painting together with many helpful and critical comments.

I have not included this in my biography below as it shows my professional activity as a physicist and later as engineer/technologist. The whole process from doing research to publishing the results in conferences or scientific or technical journals is obviously an integral part of the profession and also a creative process. One could consider it as a certain form of art as well.
