My FIRsT PuPPEt MOmEntS
I was 21 when I first discovered the art of puppetry—not the simple puppet shows I watched as a child, but a profound craft that breathes life into the inanimate. I never could have imagined the beauty of this world—so rich in symbolism and magic. Driven by curiosity, I immersed myself in it right away, reaching out to every puppet theater in Vienna and diving headfirst into the craft. Without formal training in puppetry, my approach is uniquely my own—a blend of exploration and experimentation. Rather than seeing myself strictly as a puppeteer, I embrace the identity of a puppet artist, mixing and blending various media to create something truly my own.
