Apple tree Painting

I started to use gold in my works as a versatile material that offers different possibilities, be it in structure or colorfulness. I am fascinated by the interaction between the gold and the painting, and especially the effects and color tones that are created. For me a garden is more than just a garden. For me it is an archetypal image of the sky, in which the colors become brighter and purer and the feelings intensify. The garden as a distant memory of the paradise As a symbol of love, the apple tree appears in Solomon's Song of Songs: "As among the forest trees the apple tree, so my beloved among the fellows. In its shade, so hotly desired, I will sit, and sweet its fruit tastes to my palate. ... Refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love!"
