Footloose Artwork

My inspiration is the subtle beauty of nature, organic forms and conditions, texures and light, as well as the inconspicuous things we walk past every day. Water in the river, fog, ice, clouds and wind. In the stressful everyday life, we often no longer see the subtleties. We increasingly focus on negative things that don't fulfill us. With my paintings, I'd like to encourage a connection with nature and raise our awareness of the beauties of everyday life. We should not forget, that we are part of this beauty. We will perceive how the light falls in the room in the morning. We'll watch the clouds, see how they wander. We will see the beauty of the pattering raindrops, only to rejoice in the sunshine all the more. With my works, I'd like to set an example of how we can deal with our environment in a conscious and appreciative manner. I love to reuse and rework materials, to give them new value. It can make us feel good not to discard old things but to breathe new life into them and make them unique. My works develop over a longer period with alot of layers and textures and consciously show these temporal elements. That is exactly the quality that defines my works as a symbol of our human nature. Vivid forms, earth, many layers of painting on paper and paint find expression in my vibrant and life-affirming mixed media collage and decollage artworks.
