Mediterraneum
The «Mediterraneum» series is a colorful and expressive abstract series (oil on paper) in two formats: 70x50cm and A4. Their colorful force is an expression of the Mediterranean, its history but also its flora and fauna. The Mediterranean has been a place steeped in history since time immemorial: sea battles, trade wars and the development of civilization shaped it. Venice is just one pearl among many in this space and a testimony to this eventful and magnificent history. On the other hand, there are the flora and fauna as well as the unique light of the Mediterranean which inspired so many artists to create great works of art.
Sei Nell’Anima
The small-format (A4) abstract series “Sei Nell’Anima” (oil on paper) is about a self-contained ego and at the same time addresses a you. Half of the series is black and the other half is colored. The black series accentuates the concentration and sharpness of an ego turning to its spiritual side and at the same time opens a door to the you. Due to the colors the other half of the series is softer in expression and shows the manifold transitions from the self to the you. The shapes are geometric and thus express a clear, direct line from the I to the you.
Birch Series Abstract
The birch series has its seed in the beauty of the white trunks of these trees. Northern Europe is in many parts covered with birch forests. The poetics of this special white rhythm of lines and their diversity was a formal inspiration. The variable atmospheres of light entering a birch forest show manyfold color variations among the interspace of the white trunks. The series is worked with oil technique on jute.

Connected Life II

Dalmis
Der Hund begleitet den Menschen seit jeher: er wohnt bei ihm und übernimmt verschiedenste Aufgaben. Er formt mit ihm eine ganz spezielle Symbiose, eine Freundschaft zwischen zwei Arten. Der Hund hat ein direktes, ehrliches und offenes Wesen: er ist die Pforte zu einer anderen unendlich wertvollen Welt, die der Entdeckung durch den Menschen harrt. Meine Serie lehnt sich formal an die Pop-Art an und betont durch die intensive Farbigkeit der Bilder die Würde des Hundes. Die Dalmatiner üben mit ihrem geradezu grafisch-reduzierten «gepunkteten» Haarkleid eine spezielle Faszination auf den Menschen aus.
Dogs
Ever since they formed a symbiosis with humans, dogs have been our companions for millennia. Their bright, honest and immediate nature enables us to see life and our earthly being in a fresh light. That’s why most humans appreciate the company of dogs and form a close friendship with them. Based on lifelong examination and contemplation, my dog series explores this alternative perspective on life, which is not human-centric. Its topic are the many shapes and forms of dogs in motion, standing or sitting still. Through their body language they express manifold feelings, thus acting immediately on our various senses.
Vital Truth
The Series «Vital Truth» is directly connected to the Lyrics book “Vital Truth”. The work on all living is the work on truth; this a main topic in both works. The abstract oil on paper series is in itself an approach to that expression. Abstraction always is a reduction of an experienced reality and part of that. The paintings of the Series “Vital Truth” are mirrors of phenomena experienced in the living nature around us.
Animals – Close Contact with Line
The series of ink drawings making close contact with the animal world is characteristically filigrane. Fragile and delicate, and thus hardly visible, the line draws a shape on paper. Realism is not the goal, but the different animals are recognisable from their particularities. This approach creates fantastical shapes and proves that our image of the world is flexible and can deviate from reality. The smooth line is there to show invisible things, which are not seen at first glance: it is about the beauty of living creatures in our environment. They are vulnerable and need to be protected. By the use of a drawing technique adapted to it, our appreciation of the fragility and beauty of our surroundings intensifies.
