"Zündapp Tour" Painting

Born 1957 // Industrial Designer with focus on transportation design (now retired)// former Design Professor at Dayeh-University Taiwan // based in Biebergemünd, Hessen, Germany. My work is predominantely figurative, themes are landscapes, cityscapes, vehicles of all kind, nature, music... that's what I'm interested in and what's fascinating me. These themes seem to be contradictionary but in my eyes they complement each other in a perfect way: they all need and express harmony, esthetics and dynamics. For example riding a bike means to be fully exposed to the elements, that is a drastic way to experience nature. Engineered and designed objects such as cars and motorcycles are perfectly made tools in order to let us feel harmony and dynamics while watching and using them. In my paintings I don't want to show tiny little details in photorealistic way, but to express the specific atmosphere of an object or a situation in its very moment. From 2012 till 2013 I painted in oil on canvas, because that is the old master's way of painting, which I admire very much. Since 2021 I'm working with watercolors, at first just because of curiosity, but then got hooked to it! Now I'm fascinated by watercolor painting and there is still so much to discover and to learn.....
