ROMANTIC CIRCLES, 2015 Drawing

My art is about life. It expresses what I feel about people, places, and experiences around me. In order to create a painting, I need to feel a connection with a subject and see what that subject means to me. I need to see and feel every detail of it. When I immerse myself in something that I want to paint, the idea for the painting becomes clear to me. Because I start painting without knowing exactly how it will turn out, as I put those first colours on the support, I am always nervous about what I am doing, because I do not know where I am going with it. But as I continue, one technique or colour leads to another, and I just know how to move on. If it feels right, I can continue. If not, I have to set it aside until I am inspired to go on… I make paintings with all techniques I need to express myself. charcoal, ink or oil, acryl, fire since 2001 atelier in Cologne, Germany favourite is always charcoal and ink (deeper black)
