Alps Painting

Mountains are fascinating in the play of light, through their sublime monumentality and their rugged contours. They are also overwhelming by the effort of an ascent, which is rewarded with self-awareness and a wide view, with endless horizons. Therefore they are also biblically a symbol for the ascent of the soul, for the encounter with nature and infinity. Mountains stand for challenge and overcoming, but at the same time for mercy and deserved reward. I try to achieve color intensity, moving shadows and lightness in her mountain series through a layering technique. Colored ink, relief paste and transparent oil layers create the moving surface of the canvas, which carries the lively impression of perception further.
