Collection
I am a "wanderer. “
My art is like my nature. I am somewhat restless and always looking for something new.
So I always try myself out anew. I file in different styles, but all have one thing in common; my works are always multi-layered and transparent with many levels.
My works demand an active viewer; my effort is that my results are not prominent; the complexity of the pieces requires a close look and a "feel inside", a viewing from different block angles.
The view must be sharpened in each case, so the picture opens up to the viewer. But it also has something to do with one's own "being", and the reflections of the surface of the Plexiglas or the mirror-like resins include the viewer in work. It becomes part of it.
And so everyone perceives the painting differently.
„Pictures must be miraculous. Mark Rothko
Abstract "Landscape Paintings
Even though I give many of my abstract works a title, it is more of a subtext for me- whoever looks at my paintings should analyze & feel the work for themselves.
The abstraction should show the essence of what I see or feel. This can also be based on something realistic, e.g. the sea - I paint but then no waves or water, I paint what it is for me, what it stands for: summer, freedom, relaxation, endless expanse;
The sky is not just blue & clouds, but power, the power to give us life through the sun, water, and air.
I paint the feeling, the gratitude and the happiness that I feel and sometimes the "anger" and the power that a storm reveals to us.
I am then not the conductor; I do not interpret; I create like a composer, something that triggers it in me. The creative process is at least as necessary as the finished work.
"A painting is not a picture of an experience; it is an experience. "-Mark Rothko.
"My works are colour spaces without narrowness, whose end of the story is left open to leave space for the viewer. Art is as diverse and as personal as a diary."
