Nr.18 Painting

Medium: Oil on canvas In my style of work and paintings i´d like to conserve the plain character of linen and colours. We – linen, colours and me – are acting like friends in a discussion with target of best result. After opening the roll of linen i accept the character of linen, sometimes it has some strong crinkles, sometimes it is pretty plain. With this step the creation of picture has started. The first impression of linen is like first phrase of discussion. I don´t like to modify the linen, i will follow the natural character. I only prime the linen to conserve structure of her and give her best condition to assimilate the colours. For my paintings i don´t use brushes – i only use my hands to feel the colour and structure of linen. With my hands i follow the structure of linen, so we three together are creating the picture. This natural character should not be destroyed with stretching the painting, also the natural border of linen with fluff and spikes will be conserved and not cutted to be smooth & gentle.
