Artist Statement:
I am often asked: Why do you
paint so small
(30x40cm/60x80cm) pictures?
And I answer: You can't view
the painting from a long
distance.
You have to come closer.
This gives you intimacy to the
figures.
Many visitors are interested
in the amount of existing
series and how many works each
series contain.
The first remarkable works
originate in the middle of
1993.
From this time my joy for
experiments created 4 series
of paintings and 2 series of
objects, which are formal und
themetical closed.
The series "Rainbow", for
instance, consist of 6
paintings - the series "ZONs"
has now over 90 paintings.
Another question I am often
asked is:
What do you want to express?
I think the main point is to
give a positive feeling to the
viewer - to awake
emotions - to make the people
dream.
Or:
How do you get the idea's to
create such strange figures?
This is my secret, of course.
But I must admit - it is a
hard work.
Or:
How much time do you need to
finish a painting?
Oh, I try to paint one picture
per month :-)
Others are wondering how many
variatins are possible from
the
small amount ...
