Pleinair in the Viktualienmarkt, Munich, Germany Painting

Why I paint? What inspires me is life itself as perceived and on location. My subjects are either live models or landscapes. The way I paint involves no technology, only real materials. In my paintings can be seen not only the brush marks and colours but also the experience of a single moment in time as long I painted it. And also important, I almost never paint alone. There is always someone else there. Other painters, models or just people on the street. I am drawn to painting, I just find it fascinating to stand before the subject and try to capture it​s ​essence in a limited time frame. Most of the time not easy but it gives a unique and very focussed perspective. It's not only that I represent the subjet, I also expierence it. When the time runs out the work is done. And the art piece remains as a reminder of that moment.
