My works are often inspired by the forms of nature and life. Certain mythologies fascinate me and are also the basis of some of my works. please learn more about me and see more artworks at My painting technique: I work with pigments bound in oil using the technique of oil painting and glaze painting. I usually mix the colors myself. The oil paint forms a bond with the wooden base, many layers of paint combine with each other and through removal processes or transparent colors, the view of what lies beneath is revealed. I like to work with metal leaf in my paintings. Copper leaf, silver leaf and moon gold are often elements in my paintings. The metal reflects the light back into the room, the works reflect the movement in the room and live with it. The works reflect the movement in the room and live with the ambient light, revealing many vivid perspectives to the viewer. My painting surfaces are made of different woods such as birch, poplar and oak. Before the painting process, the painting surface is pre-treated, filled and sanded before I start painting and applying the colors or metals. In this respect, my painting also has sculptural and plastic elements: For me, painting is just as much 'figure' The grain of the wood plays a part in many motifs and is decisive in terms of design.
