About my Work
In my paintings, I deal with subjective perceptions, experiences, and memories --- the results are stories in pictures. Hence, the narrative forms and artistic renditions can be very diverse. Not only do I use pencils, paints and a brush as my tools, I also utilize various other objects which as collages influence the overall message of a picture and give it its unique character.
This process also stimulates the imagination of the observer to a great extent. There are no limits to his/her interpretation of the pictures.
From a design point of view, the multi-layered usage of pigments in the acrylic paint colors is especially stimulating to me. The exploitation of contrasts and balancing of color fields, the juxtaposition of expanse and lines, the density and transparency of the colors, are continually providing me with new and exciting artistic challenges.
The same applies to the variable play with printed letters and serial shapes which have become characteristic features in my paintings.
Experimenting awakens in me an insatiable desire to always find new color compositions and pictorial expressions.
