After graduating from the University of Siegen with a Bachelor of Arts in 2013 he worked as an assistant to artist Peter Granser for a couple of months before settling in Berlin. His work is often focused on the trivial and the grotesque, the interference of humans with their environmental surrounding, between staging and coincidence. He loves vivid colors, all things graphical and flowers. Maxi’s photographs have been featured in various photographic publications.
