What is there to say about me?
I live and work in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.
You won’t find me on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn, or Instagram – this is a conscious decision.
There are (so far) no photos of me either.
I started painting in the mid-1990s,
during a time when I was struggling mentally.
It was a valve –
a way to distract myself
or process what was going on inside me.
The crucial inspiration came
from a calendar
featuring works by Joan Miró.
I began to recreate some of his paintings
and gradually developed my own style.
Over time,
influences from artists
such as Kandinsky or Hundertwasser
also found their way into my work.
Today,
I am mostly inspired by everyday life –
by situations,
people
or moments that move me.
Sometimes,
I photograph something interesting
that later becomes the basis for a painting.
It is a process that constantly evolves –
and is never truly finished.
Over time,
digital tools
and generative artificial intelligence
have also become part of my creative work.
I do not see AI
as a replacement for creativity,
but rather as an additional artistic tool:
a kind of digital studio
where ideas
can become visible,
audible
and continue to evolve.
Alongside my traditional paintings,
this has led to AI-assisted visual worlds,
digital experiments
and music pieces
that can be seen and heard throughout my gallery.
The themes,
lyrics,
artistic direction,
selection,
post-processing
and final composition
always remain part
of my own creative process.
For me,
the interaction between painting,
photography,
digital art,
music
and artificial intelligence
represents another step
within my personal universe
of bold ideas.
I am STEFF,
born in Hockenheim,
rooted in life, always journeying between mind, heart, and creativity.
I’m in my early 60s and have experienced quite a bit professionally.
My career began as a radio equipment technician, led me through radio electronics to a certified multimedia publisher,
always accompanied by a fascination for technology and design.
For many years, I worked in the IT sector, gaining experience, mastering challenges, and following developments.
Now I’ve left that field behind – today I work in vocational education. I help young people develop their personal and professional skills and explore new perspectives – a fulfilling task with meaning.
Besides my professional life, there is of course a private one – and it's just as diverse.
As I already mentioned, painting has been a part of my life for many years, a form of expression and creative refuge.
I'm also passionate about all things web: designing and coding websites brings me just as much joy as creating and editing video clips with the right software.
But that’s far from all – my interests are broad, and there’s always something new to discover. Curiosity drives me.
Of course, movement and nature are also a part of my life.
Cycling and skiing bring me just as much joy as swimming, hiking, or geocaching – all healthy ways to clear my mind and recharge.
I enjoy being around people, love good conversations and genuine connections. Values like respect, helpfulness, listening, letting others speak, and accepting everyone as they are – to me, these are not just empty phrases, but core principles I live by.
All of this – creativity, movement, connection, values – flows into my life, both privately and professionally.
And most important of all: my family. They are my anchor, my inspiration, and the place where everything comes together that truly matters to me.
...a place full of magic, ideas, inspiration, and the special sparkle of the extraordinary
The image was taken in 2013 in the vineyards of Bad Dürkheim.
Something told me during that walk, at that very moment,
“Turn around...” — and I did. The light, the view, the atmosphere in that moment – I just had to capture it.
In German, it roughly means “Gallery of Bold Ideas.”
Yes, I see my paintings as bold ideas — and also some of the photos you can see here on this website.
This is my logo, which I use as a distinctive symbol. On postage stamps➔, emails➔, also on mugs➔, bags➔, or business cards➔, etc.
Impressions of some images...
The photo was taken in 2018 on the island of Madeira in the old town alleys of the island’s capital Funchal, one of the most picturesque and cleanest cities in Europe.

...mais je n'ai rien contre le fait que vous y parliez de moi et de mon site web!
...aber ich habe nichts dagegen, wenn Ihr dort über mich und meine Webseite berichtet!
...but I don't mind if you report about me and my website there!

Welcome to my realm of colors, thoughts, and emotions
Every piece you see here is more than just paint on canvas — it’s a fragment of my story, an expression of what words don’t always say.
Let yourself drift and discover what lies between the lines.
And if a work moves you, write to me. I’m happy about every sincere echo.
