You have been exhibited extensively in Germany, and some of your work in other countries. Any exhibitions that you are taking part in the near future? My photos have already been issued in some countries. I have had photo exhibitions in Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg. With paintings, I've concentrated on Germany. I have a gallery that represents me and takes care of my general exhibitions. My exhibitions always connect with fetish events in Berlin: for Fetish Easter-Meeting and FOLSOM Street Fair in September. However, I would sometimes love to exhibit abroad. Who are the artists that have inspired you personally? My uncle, who introduced me to painting. And other photographers, like Leni Riefenstahl and Robert Mapplethorpe. What do you want people to take away from your art? What would you say is the core message of your art? Be yourself. Be open. Be tolerant, be free, kind, powerful. Be alive, in love, never give up. Don't forget others, don't stop fighting for you and for others. Behold the beauty of the love of the body. But love and emotions have to hurt, otherwise they are not real. I also support social projects and I will continue to contribute Together Against
