Separated Painting

Born and grown up in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. In my abstract paintings I attempt to visualize the transitoriness, the decay of life (and things) as a necessary condition for the emergence of something new. I realize works where the energy of colour, the texture and the partitioning are essential, trying to give each work of art some power and depth. It can be said that my works express primordial feelings controlled by reason - finally showing something organic in a tidy ambience. Besides black and white I like using warm, earthy colours (acrylics, pigments, rust effect colours) - mixed with plaster, cement, marble dust, sand or modelling paste in different layers - painted, smoothed over in rough, often archaic looking patterns. Sometimes I also use mull, pack-twine, packing material, copper- and zinc plates, denim, pc-scrap, and metal flakes. All my artworks are finished with a glossy varnish to protect them from dirt or UV-rays. All paintings are ready to hang. You just need ONE nail to hang them. I have been publicly juried into the top 10 twelve times in the “Saatchi Showdown" Gallery, which receives over 40 million hits per day. My paintings sold to private collectors all over the world, mostly to collectors in the United States of America and in the United Kingdom (also to collectors in Australia, Austria, Canada, Italy, Luxemburg, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, Republic of Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, and Germany).
