For me portraits are the most fascinating subject in art. How can I express if the human being is male or female, young or old, sad or happy, bored or excited, ...?

How can I express that it is a human being?

A few dots or a line or a change of some colours can change the mood of the person dramatically.

All paintings of the series "Small Portraits" are exercises or sketches in acrylic on canvas with the same size. They are painted only in few layers in one or two sessions and give a spontanous impression of the idea. In the whole series you will find different executions of the same idea.

Once and again life brought me to East Asia (Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong) and back to Germany. It took nearly half a lifetime before I had the opportunity to attend the first professional art lessons. Mildred Hsu Yee Wong (Hong Kong) guided me to a deep understanding of the Chinese culture and helped me to find the unity of spirit, body, brush, ink and paper and thus to control the flow of the water. All my capability in traditional Chinese paintings I owe to Mildred. At Lübeck Art School I learned the basics of Western painting and drawing. In my works you will find a great variety of styles, techniques, materials and subjects. To find more Chinese ink paintings and some Chinese calligraphy please visit my website ''.
