Welcome
All options. Experience. Moods. Thoughts. Materials. Light. Colour. Stories. Beauty. Traumas. Coping. Queer views. Self-assertion. Freedom.
My queer perspective is a disruptive technology. It is the tool I use to dismantle the hierarchy of the viewer's gaze. It is the impulse to break existing rigid norms and the viewers' perspectives, and it materialises on an autobiographical or societal level.
As a multi-disciplinary and post-digital artist, I work at the intersection of material, colour, form and technology. My practice is an ongoing evolution - a process in which I translate classical artistic materials with 21st-century appeal, such as interference effects, into raw, handmade works. I engage with the physical immediacy of the material, applying neon acrylics onto aluminium-dibond or scattering reflective particles into wet paint on objets trouvés.
Simultaneously, I use digital tools to translate my analogue sketches into complex architectures, utilising innovations ranging from 3D printing to complex sandwich constructions for realisation. For these state-of-the-art materials, I see myself as an orchestrator. Like a conductor, I can play various instruments myself, but my core strength lies in translating complex emotional narratives into technical precision by conducting a network of specialists.
Starting in March 2026, all this will broaden, following a new itinerary. My practice expands through a dedicated week each month at my/our collective studio and producer gallery on Calle Mazaroco 23, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. The Canary light becomes a structural component of my colour-material-size logic for handmades, while I continue to conduct more complex projects from my base in Bochum and for my gallery shows in Antwerp.
This duality — the raw physical gesture and the mastered technical precision — allows me to maintain the deeply human dimension of asserting safety through freedom.
CU! Heiko
