German descent and raised in Switzerland. For me painting is dealing with seeing. Sensory perceptions are added and flow into the process. It is a finding, a letting go in the silence so that I can capture it on the canvas. I feel gratitude and joy. My paintings are positive and filled with a lot of energy.
“I use many techniques, but I prefer to paint with pigments and acrylics. I use a mixed technique of collage, color layering, spatula work, tar, graphite, sand etc. I experiment, layer by layer to create a space that reflects depth and width and creates a closeness and distance. Often my handwriting or printed fonts support the content of the picture.”
“Sometimes I also incorporate obvious or ambiguous, mysterious signs into the picture. It is important to me that my pictures stimulate the imagination and leave the viewer and the viewer open the possibility to interpret themselves, regardless of what I have brought to my story. Of course, when I paint, I create the dialogue with myself and want to fix the personal message, the inner tension.”
“The imagination is thus concretized for me and brought into matter. This creates an impression based on colour, technique and form. Different states dissolve and merge: the statics pass into the movement, the movement ends again in the statics; this creates a work in many layers."
