King Charles III. Clad In Scottish Tartan Speaks At The UN Print

Having started with painting and drawing in the 1990s, as of 2010 I became a student with the Chinese-German artist and art Professor Qi Yang for several years. From 2013 to 2015, I took part in his master class. My artwork centers on Figurative Art, embracing the styles of Neo-Expressionism, Minimal Art and Glitch (a novelty in traditional fine art). My work includes painting, drawing and printmaking. Prominent in my artworks are people whom I observe, either presently or from memory, in everyday situations. This includes memorized imagos of myself and the people I encounter in various situations, at recent past, in daydreams or going far back to childhood. It also includes persons of public interest, whom I get to see and know about in the news. Markedly, the figures in my artworks are filled with feelings - feelings that we know to be „normal“. This said, the viewer can empathize instantly and almost on an instinctive level. Always, however, the viewer is challenged to interpret and associate. As to my techniques, they are free and experimental, and classical at once. Either on canvas or on paper, I paint with acrylic, aquarelle, oil, ink or pastels, but also self-made egg-tempera and casein. In my drawings I favor graphite and charcoal, occasionally also markers. In addition I love to do prints, oftentimes experimental monotypes.
