an aficionado of many mediums, from pen and lens to the vast digital canvas. Schooled in the art of critically questioning norms at Humboldt University Berlin, his creative path winds through the written word, camera wielding, and audio-visual immersion. Driven by a curiosity for the jazz of life, Matthias dives into the essence of human experiences with a humble nod to the interconnected world we navigate and a broad, inviting smile.
Matthias's work invites you on a trip through the visually spectacular and thoughtfully abstract, a personal and collective narrative that is inspired by encounters with nature, electronic music, and psychoactive substances. His photography and audio-visual works are windows into life's diverse textures, from serene landscapes or EDM to surreal experiences, each piece an invitation to connect, reflect, and immerse in wonder.
In the grand scheme, these recognitions are but waypoints on a journey far greater than the accolades themselves.
