Im born on the october 26th 1989 in Braunsweig, Germany.
I am a self-taught artist working under the name StuR.
Painting and drawing have been a constant presence since childhood.
After a hiatus, i began working with digital collage in 2019 but ultimately returned to painting in 2022-
the medium that brings me the most joy and creative fulfillment.
My work is primarily large-scale acrylic painting on canvas, focusing on figurative compositions with symbolic depth, which I describe as part of a Neo-Symbolist visual language.
In addition to visual art, I am passionate about design in all its forms-
fashion, jewelry, interior and architecture.
As a hobby tailor, i also create unique garments without using commercial patterns and I also create perfumes since 2021.

Project Statement

In my work I explore the tension between external beauty and inner abyss. My visual language merges organic bodies, technological fragments and symbolic elements into a timeless iconography where past, present and future converge. Figures often appear transformed, fragmented or suspended between states of becoming and decay.
My current series “New Flesh” depicts the transformation of a person under internal, societal and existential pressure. The series explores the moment when identity, body and psyche are reshaped- between beauty, ritual and inner conflict. The litteral new skin doesnt represent biological mutation but rather psychological, spiritual and societal metamorphosis.
