A breakfast table is never just a place to eat. It’s a quiet witness to our lives and a open window into the world.

Whether in a bustling city thousands of miles away or at home in Hamburg: our morning table reveals almost everything about who we are, where we come from, and how we live. A single plate tells stories of local identity, unfamiliar flavours, and unique cultural roots, yet it also holds the deeply universal traces of early mornings, shared habits, and waking thoughts that connect us all.

From the sticky cinnamon crumbs of a Saturday morning Franzbrötchen to the forgotten, cold coffee cup sitting next to a glowing laptop on a chaotic Wednesday at 7:46 am: The Breakfast Club captures these honest, intimate snapshots of everyday life. Far removed from tourist facades, these paintings are a journey through different morning cultures and personal routines. They explore the space between urban hustle, deep-seated traditions, and those rare, quiet moments where time briefly stops.

This series is an invitation to you: Pause for a second. Take a breath. And find the quiet magic, warmth, and stories hiding in the most ordinary parts of our mornings.

"Jedes Werk entsteht aus einem realen Moment: einem ruhigen Morgen, einem vollgestellten Tisch und einem Frühstück voller Geschichten. In meinem Atelier entwickeln sich diese Momentaufnahmen zu vielschichtigen, erzählerischen Gemälden."
