Barbed wire Print

Preface: As a painter I am the second person after God. I have an immense freedom. I can paint what I want and how I want. I can paint hideousness or friendliness. I can paint on canvas, wood, paper or glass, in oil or acrylic. I have decided for friendliness in acrylic on glass, for reverse painting on glass. The old material of the universe is the joy. If god has created the world, he has it done definitely by joy. I do not know where I have read this sentence, all the same, I like it. Definitely we are created to carry out this joy and to transmit it. Nothing else gives us more strength and energy. To paint this joy in all facets and shadings and transmit it to the viewers is one of my explained aims. Another aim is to present the old technique of reverse painting on glass with a new face, a modern face. Earlier it was only a religious or popular art. Curriculum: I was born in 1944, in southern Germany, primary school, high school, two years of military service, three years of primary school teacher, two years of study to master special school until 2003 working in special schools, retirement. 2003 visit an exhibition of reverse paintings on glass near Murnau. Loved it so much, that I started to paint in the same technique. 2005 we moved to Spain and built a house. Stop painting until 2011. In summer 2011 I felt a strong desire to paint so that leaves the other obligations and started to paint. Suddenly the desire finished an obsession. If you look now for a study in an art academy, you will look in vain. I have never seen an art college from the inside. I am autodidact, to 100 %. What I like to paint: Things that happen only in my head, things that give joy and heart, often strange things, either exaggerated or a double meaning, may be thoughtful, but always covered with gentleness. I like to paint my dreams and longings. How I paint: How I can realise what I would like to show, this is the central question. Style, perspective, proportions and technology have only a help function. I like full, dramaticly arranged pictures with people and in bright colours
