Compared to the classic pointillism of the 1890s, I have developed a pointillist technique in which the color dots stamped on the canvas are framed in black to increase the luminosity of the colors and an additional 3D effect can be created on the viewer's eyes if there are strong light-dark contrasts in the image. You can observe this 3D effect in many images. The light areas come to the front, the darker areas move to the back. I would like to explain this technique in a little more detail. The creation of the image takes place in 4 stages. In the first step I cover the picture with a colored pre-painting, painted conventionally with a brush. It can be simple color transitions, architecture, faces or even human figures. In the second step, I intuitively print 5 selected acrylic colors, mostly mixed with white in dots, onto the canvas using a small, round stamp with a diameter of 0,16 inch carved from an eraser In the third step, this color application is then condensed by stamping with a dominant color. Then the decisive phase begins. In step 4, all points are outlined with black paint (using a brush or CD marker) and partially connected to each other.This process is very time-consuming, monotonous and characterized by tiring, circular hand movements. Finally, after 30 hours and around 3000 borders on large images, the image rises like a phoenix from the ashes. The color-enhancing effect of the black frames gives the images power and harmony at the same time. .
