I was born in
Paris and raised in Germany. I am interested in art, in music, and in science, in particular, in the face. I remember, when I was a
child in school, I asked my biology teacher: When our nose is formed, how do
the cells know, when to stop at the tip of the nose?
Fortunately,
I became an anatomist and an orthodontist, and I could focus my work and my research
on the human face.

ART
If I had more time, I
would like to paint more. But at least I was able to draw the illustrations
myself for some of my books and publications.

PUBLICATIONS
Next to research articles
in scientific journals, I was able to summarize my knowledge in textbooks.
Furthermore, I wrote a book about my horse Poseidon.

It was in the
forests around the cities of Berlin and Potsdam, where I had so many wonderful
years with my horse Poseidon. Whenever I talked about these memories full of
joy, people asked enthusiastically: "You should write them all
down!"
"A
sensitive book about the extraordinary friendship between two men, one of
them is a horse."
