Fabian was born in West Berlin roughly 20 years before the wall came down. As a young man he fell in love with comics and graphic novels. In the mid nineties he attended a course at the London Cartoon Centre. Back in Berlin Fabian started to use computers and worked in 3d animation for more than 20 years.

Fabian came to sculpting rather late in life. He is working with all sorts of clays and plasters. Notably, he developed a technique to treat unfired clay with linseed oil that allows it to naturally conserve and protect the clay while creating a very beautiful and tactile finish.

Throughout his career the human in all its variations has always been the main focus of Fabian’s work. Depicting the human form, the body’s mechanics, motions and dynamics in the pursuit of capturing emotion. Or simply to tell a story.
