The painting and the change to the Universalartist

Singing and opera shaped my life for many years, but my second talent, painting, also came to the fore. Under the direction of Dominique Meyer, I was given the opportunity to combine both talents in the Gustav Mahler Hall of the Vienna State Opera. The presentation of Schubert's "Winterreise" with 24 oil paintings marked my breakthrough as Universalartist.

The exhibition was a great success with 160,000 visitors. Further exhibitions such as "3 x Mahler" and "Blickwinkel Oper - Ära Dominique Meyer" attracted a total of 500,000 visitors and showed my works in large-format oil paintings.

My artistic journey led to further exhibitions in Innsbruck, Steyr, the Upper Austrian Provincial Exhibition, the Palais Hansen Vienna and the Sala terrena of Klosterneuburg Abbey
