Artist Statement:
I draw the inspiration for my
art from a reflection about my
life and my actions. The art
functions as an X-ray of my
state of being; the ability to
look into myself and others is
the gift of the artist.
I experimented with different
media: acrylic, watercolor,
pencils, pastels and oil. In
my eyes, oil is the mother of
all media because it allows
for a very finely tuned
relation between feelings and
color.
The art historical and
stylistic as well as technical
inspiration of my work is
derived from a long study of
the great master painters
throughout the centuries. In
particular, but in no
particular order, the
following: Chagall, Kokoschka,
Klimt, Schiele, Munch, Ensor,
Dix, Grosz for the modern
period, but also Dante Gabriel
Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones.
Last but not least, there is
always Goya and Caravaggio.
My art shall speak for itself
even though I like to give the
paintings a psychological
edge, imbue them with
sensuality and dark humor and
let them communicate their
ambiguous meanings and
double-entendres. I, on the
other hand, love to hear the
explanations of the viewers
which resonate within me and
may well have an influence
