AMSTERDAM_22_01 Painting

I am a self-taught artist without a classical art education who studied interaction design and has been working as a freelance UX designer for over 14 years. I have been painting for more than 7 years now, working almost exclusively in oil. I live and work in Potsdam/Berlin. In my work I mostly deal with urban motifs and landscapes. I am interested in depicting geometric forms of urbanity with color, which is rather organically distributed over the painting ground. In turn, I paint the organic forms of nature as if they were geometric formations. I try to capture the atmosphere, the essence of a place in concrete terms while working as abstractly as possible. It is also about reducing the effort in the sense of a challenge. I try to be minimalist without sacrificing detail.
