Reclining Nude Painting

My pictures are rooted in the real world, but they are by no means illustrations or portraits in the conventional sense, but rather symbolic images. A starting point for the work is often my personal memories and experiences as well as considerations of reality, but also photographs that I find in newspapers and magazines. These serve as templates for drawings and paintings. I interpret the photographically accurate representation in subjective painting. In my pictures I try to combine the visual and the conceptual. For me, painting is a medium of knowledge that, in addition to direct expression, makes material and immaterial forces visible, plastic processes in the broadest sense.
