fighting fish Painting

My art is an escape from ego, an act of selflessness on the canvas. Colors are applied seemingly aimlessly and then removed again. Models serve only as a pretext for painting; my works emerge beyond academic norms. I paint out of pure joy. A photograph does not reveal the essence like painting does. My creation is not for pleasing others but satisfies an inner longing. It's not about the image but about the creative process, whose significance emerges in the eye of the beholder. Höffken currently works at KunstKwartier44 in Cologne Rodenkirchen.
