"Washington Square Arch, New York" Painting

I have been fascinated by burning wood already by the time when I was explaining to my little boys how to decorate objects in a simple way using the woodburning pen. While practicing conventional pyrography, I noticeably missed the play of colors. So this had been the reason why I have been busy in learning the art of coloring. A colorful life is important for me. Even on my daily walks I always choose paths and places that offer some kind of colored beauty. I grew up with photo cameras, and taking pictures is another passion of me. My camera is with me many times because taken photographs serve best as basis for my art. The wood-burned motives are colored with watercolors in a perfect way that allows viewers to still clearly recognize the beautiful and unique patterns of the processed wood. This is what makes my art so unique. The strong combination of burned wood and aquarelle led to call it PYROAQUARELLE.
