ART IS LOVE
Abstract painting has been my great passion for a long time.
A lot of my inspiration comes from nature, some of these inner images date back several years and reveal themselves in my art where they find their expression.
They are not photos but rather memories that have touched me by their colourfulness and beauty and are made as a lasting image.
The origin of every painting is first and foremost the harmonious merging of colours. In the painting process I use various tools and materials for the layers and overpaintings.
I know no limits when it comes to the mixture of special materials.
The pastiness of acrylics is thinned or thickened, pigments are used, as well as oils, gouache, silicone, resin, pouring and lacquers. Structure is achieved with the help of spatulas, painting knifes and brushes.
My family has had an interest in painting and other creative activities since generations. Furthermore, there was a left-handed person in my family (great-great-grandfather) and this has also been passed onto me. As a left-hander, I write with my right hand but my left hand is the executing force when painting.
It is an adventure when the inner world of images, personal views and interpretations come to expression. The experience of the combination of different colours, the fullness and the radiance that emanates from the colours, make my artwork shine with perfect aesthetics.
