biography
The artist grew up as a farmer’s son in Bergün. He is influenced by Romanesque culture and language. After his university studies in Bern, he moved to Paris in the early 1990s, where he discovered his passion for art. At the end of the 1990s he lived and worked in Modena and set up his first studio there. He was inspired by the Italian sculptor Guglielmo Veccietti-Massacci to create his first works in stone. Since then he has concentrated on sculpture with native stones and motifs. He also loves the connection between stone, iron and steel.
