My Personal Style
As a visual artist, I work with the media of acrylic, oil, and watercolor, also integrating multimedia elements. My works are expressions of the subconscious and can be characterized as ‘thought-provoking images.’ My themes encompass a wide range, including magic, horror, mysticism, symbols, fractals, the obvious and the hidden, as well as the concepts of life, transition, and death. In my work, I strive to explore the unspoken and the mysterious.
My works challenge the viewer to engage actively. Through the layered nature of the ‘thought-provoking images,’ the viewer’s gaze is continually refocused, revealing new motifs and interpretative approaches.
All my paintings are hand-painted, signed, and unique. I take on commissioned work and create portraits, even from photographs.
"Die Abstrakten Bilder sind fiktive Modelle, weil sie eine Wirklichkeit veranschaulichen, die wir weder sehen noch beschreiben können."
Gerhard Richter
