„Meine plastischen Arbeiten sind der Figuration verpflichtet, wobei die einzelnen Figuren sowie grössere Ensembles mit der Kettensäge aus Massivholz herausgearbeitet werden. Inhaltlich geht es um die Darstellung von Charakteren, die oft ironisch überzeichnet sind. Der Arbeit zugrunde liegt immer die Beobachtung von Menschen.“ Aber es geht dem Bildhauer in seinen Arbeiten nie um bestimmte Personen, sondern um die Figur als solche, die als Sinnbild oder Symbol stellvertretend für unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche Gruppen verstanden werden soll.

"My sculptural works are committed to figuration, whereby the individual figures as well as larger ensembles are worked out of solid wood with a chain saw. In terms of content, it is about the representation of characters, which are often ironically overdrawn. The work is always based on the observation
of people." But the sculptor is never concerned in his works with specific persons, but with the figure as such, which is to be understood as a symbol or icon representing different social groups.
