Studio program: It no longer makes sense today, in 2007, to repeat that there has been a revolution in the field of electronic media, and not only a technical-technological revolution, but more importantly, a revolution in artistic consciousness. This indisputable fact is already widely known. Therefore, it is impossible to educate a graphic artist today who is ignorant of digital graphics.

The computer, and in fact graphics software, its availability, ease of reproduction and data transfer, has revolutionized the world, especially the world of artistic graphics. This is a situation unknown even fifteen or twenty years ago.

Credo:The artist's profession is: emotion, masterful technique and skillful use of chance. However, I consider the necessary individualization of the artistic record as the most important.

I am convinced that also in the field of digital technology this is already fully possible today.
