Nr. 101 Painting

Since my adolescence I have been drawing, painting and practicing photography. After completing a business education and from 2000 onwards, I was intensively involved in watercolor painting while at the same time starting further artistic education in various techniques at art academies in Germany and abroad. My artworks show abstract pictorial spaces in different layers. The initial impulse is partly concealed, sometimes released and gains momentum through the changing and partially tranquilized environment. In doing so, I omit titles in my recent works to make it clear that they are not depicting paintings. The viewer is encouraged to think for himself and to find out what is important to him, what he sees in the picture. I like to work experimentally even when I go into the subject matter. I only use home-made fillers, marble flour, various stone flours, ashes and sands. There are also stains, ink-wash, pigments and a few secret recipes. The material has its own life when it comes to the canvas, they react with each other or repel each other and give unexpected results.
