SYNERGIE ORANGE 2 (345) Painting

I am born in Germany, living in Germany and Southern France. "Painting is my life and as far as I can remember, the use of paintbrushes and colors was always fascinating me." I am preparing my international exhibitions while traveling between my art studio in Stuttgart to the south of France (Provence), where I am gathering new strength, inspired by the light and balance of untouched nature. Through numerous exhibitions in France, Germany, Austria, Canada, The Netherlands and Switzerland, I could successfully present my work to a growing international audience My philosophy: "Whatever you can do or what you are dreaming about. Courage has genius, Power and magic in itself." Goethe My inspiration: every moment in life is accompanied by a feeling, and every feeling has its own image for me. Just as life writes my story, so do my pictures develop, expressing experiences and feelings in pictorial form. Experimentation and creative energy create works that touch or make you think. In many artworks, the insertion of self-made collage parts from natural materials is in the foreground. The plant parts of reeds, palms, pine needles, lavender from my garden paradise in the south of France are the source of inspiration and material at the same time. The application of color layers, pigments, ocher sand, red soil and paper or plant collages creates three-dimensional spaces. Artistic approach: Spontaneity, joy of experimentation and dynamism determine the painting process and the paintings that are always created in abstract pictorial form and in mixed techniques. I am approaching my works emotionally, following my current feelings and impulses, which brings the painting close to the informal, without obedient rules of composition, in which color surfaces and lines provide a visual rhythm. The spatula is used as an indispensable main design tool of the artist. The paint application is characterized by the tool and color coatings, densifications occur plastically.
