ABOUT THE ARTWORK
according to a poem by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi This work is built on a logarithmic spiral that does not exist in the old book paintings. If it is duplicated and fanned out in a circle, it creates a very dynamic structure, to which immediately one of my favorite poems of Mewlana came to my mind. „Wer sagt Worte mit meinem Mund Den ganzen Tag denk‘ ich darüber nach, am Abend sag‘ ich‘s dann. Woher kam ich, und was erwartet man von mir? Ich habe keine Ahnung. Meine Seele stammt woandersher, dessen bin ich sicher, und dort zu enden ist mein Ziel. Dies Betrunkensein begann in irgendeiner andren Schenke. Sobald ich wieder zu jenem Ort zurückgelange, werd‘ ich völlig nüchtern sein. In der Zwischenzeit bin ich wie ein Vogel aus einem andren Erdteil, sitze in diesem Vogelhaus. Der Tag kommt näher, an dem ich davonfliege -, doch wer ist eben jetzt in meinem Ohr, der meine Stimme hört? Wer sagt Worte mit meinem Mund? Wer blickt umher mit meinen Augen? Was ist die Seele? Ich kann nicht aufhören, zu fragen. Könnte ich nur ein Schlückchen einer Antwort kosten, So könnte ich diesem Gefängnis für Betrunkene entfliehen. Aus eignem Antrieb kam ich nicht hierher und kann nicht fort aus freien Stücken. Wer immer mich hierher gebracht hat, wird mich zurückversetzen müssen.“

The painting technique of these Illuminations comes from the painting school of the Top Kapi Palace in Istanbul and from the private seminar of Prof. Dr. Süheyl Ünver. Each work begins with a design, a drawing that is constructed with compass and ruler and has to be transferred to the prepared paper. Then 22ct gold is painted with a brush on all designated surfaces, afterwards the colors. Each one is contoured black, so the work unfolds from the center gradually like a rising flower. I am focussing on traditional bookpainting and miniaturepainting since 2004 with Illuminations and by teaching in courses and workshops.
