Artist Statement:
My purpose is to create
exciting, contemporary works
of art that are beautiful to
live with.

Most of my paintings originate
high in the mountains in the
Swiss regional park of the
Binn Valley. These works are
mostly non-figurative, but
throughout the seasons the
surrounding glaciers, rocks,
wildwaters serve as a
backdrop.

In the beginning there is
almost always a thought, a
feeling or an image. Instead
of copying it on canvas, when
lucky, I can switch into a
dreamlike state, removed from
reality, and my approach
becomes free and gestural.

Sometimes the result is a work
of beauty, and I may feel
reminded of my initial
thoughts. There isn't a
literal image of these
thoughts, but our imagination
is stimulated beyond the
obvious.

My aesthetic approach - mostly
non-figurative abstract - runs
counter the post-modernist
trend, since Pop, Minimalism
and Concept Art swept Abstract
Expressionism to the sidelines
fifty years ago. There seems
to be a loss of faith in the
aesthetic basis of art, but I
remain attached to illusion
and the lyrical character in
modernist art.

Nevertheless, I can see the
creative space in-between the
two. So, with luck, you may
experience the tension ...
