Artist State­ment

My paint­ings (acrylic on can­vas) embrace phys­i­cal sen­sa­tion. I paint the sky and the sea, because both can be felt on the skin; as wind in the hair, as water on the skin, or as weath­er with its direct impact on our mood and emotion.

It may be a misty morn­ing at the sea­side, that cre­ates a feel­ing of com­fort in front of the seem­ing­ly end­less expanse of the ocean, or a wave, that appears as invi­ta­tion to bath in it.

Some onlook­ers might see a spir­i­tu­al mean­ing in the sky as a link to the divine, or they might asso­ciate the sea with the mythol­o­gy of the nymphs or with sym­bol­ic eroticism.

To me, my art­works are about the sen­su­al enjoy­ments of beau­ty. My motifs are inspi­ra­tions col­lect­ed dur­ing trav­els, e. g. to Italy, or they thrive from my phan­ta­sy, some­times they are a sym­bio­sis of both. Cre­at­ing a paint­ing is a vague idea, that – dur­ing the process of work­ing with a brush with a lot of instinc­tive feel­ing, becomes the form of an indi­vid­ual motif.
