ZIRKUM Painting

As an artist, I focus mainly on painting in large formats, as it allows me to behave according to my painterly proportions. It allows me to express my visions on an appropriate scale and to be able to add more details. I work primarily with oil paints and use the properties of egg tempera for underpainting. It is a modern interpretation of an ancient technique, applying many thin layers to achieve depth and intensity. Animals, plants, celestial bodies, science, man - through close observation I draw from everything that surrounds me. In doing so, I work on no concept or pattern, except that of giving myself to the creative process as freely as possible. The white canvas at the beginning is always something beautiful, it offers endless possibilities and is the beginning of each new work of art. Usually I develop a vague idea long beforehand and the feeling for a kind of climate, that is, what atmosphere or mood I want to create. Then many processes begin, some of them unpredictable. All my works are created without a template directly on the canvas. The painting materials and certain colors I make myself. Initially, I work out with the underpainting the basic composition and create the first structures. A principle of the colored way and the picture structure. It is a painting process that is constantly changing. In the end, you see many layers lying on top of each other and the marks of their lengthy transformation. ATTENTION: Currently it is not possible to upload more than one photo file per artwork! This is a current technical issue that is affecting several artists and which the engineering team is working on. There are photo files of the other views of the artwork and I'm sure the curators can submit them by other means.
