Kämpfer Painting

Since about 40 years I´m addicted to art even if I never studied it on university. I started with watercolor technique until I discovered my love for Acryl and big formats at the Summer Academy in Frauenau, a leading academy related to painting and glass art. I then had the chance to visit a lot of very high class courses and was inspired by famous artists like Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Pavel Roucka. The most important theme for me is "love of live" and to bring that mood on the canvas as authentically as possible. Forms of Abstraction and the used color palette are my preferred language. I like to choose a bright background as well as vigorous and brighter colors. I work mainly with bigger brushs, with my fingers and with spatulas. So I built layer on layer and realize playful forms and schemes. For me its important to touch my audience positivley through my art work. They should see the bright and beautiful in the "up and down" of life and develop delightful feelings through my art. Based loosely on "Always look on the bright side of life"!
