The title series MAXIMINIMALISMUS also includes compact MONO stand objects, which I have designed in particular for the realisation of larger non-profit actions for the benefit of selected climate, environmental and nature conservation projects.

I gave these objects the abstract subtitle “GOLDEN SIGNALS OF NATURE” because I am absolutely fascinated by the idea that trees can communicate with each other by means of signals via a network of fungi and roots under the surface of the earth. This beautiful idea comes from the forester and best-selling author, Peter Wohlleben. In his book “The Hidden Life of Trees“, he also describes how in an old forest, sick trees are supported by neighbouring trees and how they share nutrients with each other – a social community of trees from which many people could still learn a thing or two.

All of the works from the MAXIMINIMALISMUS series are made on the alluring island of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean.

My small studio is located in an idyllic mountain village in Madeira Natural Park, a large conservation area containing unique flora and fauna.

Living and working every day in this wonderful nature reserve is something special for me …the impressive nature on this island became my source of inspiration for the

ART 4 … OUR NATURE project.
