Why do I combine scinece and art?
With Science & Art, I am establishing a new artistic movement
in which the emotions of the artist are not the focus,
but rather those of the viewer.
My works are created from the conviction that
art unfolds its greatest power when it triggers concrete,
measurable reactions in the viewer’s brain.
Central to my approach is the deliberate use of neuroscientific insights.
Every visual element
—color, form, contrast, pattern—
is intentionally selected to stimulate
the viewer’s neural activity and evoke emotional resonance.
The scientific foundation of these decisions is an integral part of my artistic language:
studies on the impact of strong contrasts,
the emotion-producing effect of dots and patterns,
and the brain’s particular sensitivity to the depiction
of human faces all shape the composition of my works.
For this reason, many of my pieces feature human figures.
Their presence is not driven by narrative intentions but by their proven ability
to enhance attention, empathy, and emotional response in the brain.
Even the seemingly abstract design elements
—strong contrasts and recurring dot structures—
serve less as narrative content and more as tools of neuroaesthetic impact.
The content itself moves into the background;
in its place emerges a consciously applied visual technique aimed at touching,
activating, and guiding the viewer into an intense dialogue between perception and emotion. Science & Art does not understand art as an expression of artists emotion, but as a stimulating experience—an intentionally crafted impulse directed at the viewer’s brain.
Through my art, I translate scientific knowledge into
visual experiences that spark curiosity and wonder.

What technique do I use?
I combine ink drawings on paper with digital backgrounds
to highlight the contrast between the objectivity of science and the
emotional texture of everyday life. This fusion of analog and digital reflects the tension
between rational understanding and human experience.
My work seeks to open a dialogue between these two worlds,
revealing their hidden connections.
I am an artist, and I am a scientist.
When I left school, I first studied biology. Ten years, a Dr. title and a couple scientific publications later, I started my art career.
I was trained by the photographer Eberhard Gronau for three years. And I took courses in illustration in Vienna.
Today I combining both fields, science and art.
