Zimmer Frei I Painting

Hello! I am an artist, I love to paint life and travel. I have been drawing since childhood, I have been doing art all my life. My work has been influenced by the ancient art of China and Japan. On the basis of oriental painting on silk, I came up with my own technique: painting with ink and watercolors on primed silk. My favorite artists are Qi Baishi, Hokusai, Utamaro, Hiroshige. I am inspired by the work of artists of the early Italian Renaissance, impressionists, German expressionists, art deco, contemporary art. I love to paint while traveling. Held 2 solo exhibitions, participated in 50 collective exhibitions, in international festivals of book illustration. My works are in private collections and in educational books on painting and drawing. For over 30 years I have illustrated books for various publishers. I draw tapestry sketches for the production of tapestry fabrics. Currently, I am interested in drawing a person's worldview, my peak experiences associated with sudden feelings of strong happiness, fullness of existence, awareness of "absolute truth" or the unity of all things. Eternal themes of creation and destruction, harmony and disharmony, I strive to express my experiences and feelings through the image. I find my images in the nude model. By drawing naked people, I try to express the idea of ​​humanity. We come into this world naked. By undressing, a person becomes himself. The naked female body is a symbol of the earthly, natural principle in man.
