Born in Berlin in 1938.
Studied art in Dresden and Düsseldorf from 1956 to 1962, specially printing techniques such as etching and litography, silkscree and woodcarving.

Still very young, I traveled through Italy, Greece and France, there I befriended two great artists: Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau.

I drew the poster for the only drama written by Picasso "How to take desires by the tail".

In 1962 I left my home in Germany to go live in Guayaquil-Ecuador.

I've been involved since 1963 in graphic design in advertising. First in the add agency NORLOP JWT (from the JWT group) and after that in 1989 I founded VERSUS, which currently specializes in developing brand design and product design, logos and logotype design for banks, industry, commerce and cultural institutions.

In the 70s and 80s I got involved in the investigation of precolombian history from Ecuador.

I took part in the international exhibition of latinamerican etching in the Museum of Modern Art New York, alongside works of Diego Rivera, Joaquin Torres García, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Wilfredo Lam, Rodolfo Abularach, amongst others, MOMA acquired several pieces for its collection.

I started creating a series of birds, a graphic exercise that created something totally new but with the mysticism from the time, this work was applied in hand knotted wall carpets making a real discovery and contribution to modern design.

I designed the graphic line for the Galápagos Islands t-shirts, pushing with it a new tourism industry for Ecuador and other latinamerican countrys.

Then I created "SOLES" silkscreens at the end of the 70s.

In the 80s, I won the first prize in etchings in the Bienal Gráfica de San Juan, Puerto Rico.

First prize in the Salón de dibujo de Guayaquil. I had international exhibits in Colombia, Perú, Mexico and Germany.

I was guest of honor as advisor at the Bienal Iberoamericana de Diseño taking place every two years in Madrid Spain.
