Der Weg, der mich geprägt hat.

Born in Switzerland in 1974, I carry the name “Taureg”, reminiscent of the Tuareg desert people — though its true origin lies in Prussia and comes from an artistically inclined family. It suggests that my keen sense of observation for horses and my eye for detail were likely gifted to me from the very beginning.

With my holistic methodology, I inspire people around the world and help them develop an approach that leads to success both in horsemanship and in art. My artwork captivates viewers in the same way body language does: it either resonates or it doesn’t — and one thing is certain: you cannot not communicate.
