I love collecting old things and using them in my art or as a material for my art.
I found some old GDR paper bags on a flee market and liked the printing on them. They already create a background for anew artwork. I did a couple of these paper bag artworks as you can see.
Title: "Autumn Woman." Size: 29,3 x 19,2 cm
Technique : Pencil, tape, antique photography and clipping from a Life magazine from 1958 on an old GDR paper bag from around the 60s.
Date: 04. January 2024
I like contradictions. Life is full of contradictions. Like yin and yang, my paintings combine these opposites into an overall picture. The rapid application of paint with the spray can and the pause when painting with the brush, the clearly outlined areas of the stencil technique stand next to the merging colors of oil painting. I need these contrasts, because sometimes this fire blazes in me and at the same time I also enjoy the stillness of slowness. All this energy is transferred to my works.
I like to tell stories in my paintings. My focus is on the stories and experiences that can shape and define a personality. The stories I choose and portray connect with the experiences of the viewer. It is an invitation to linger and reflect.
Thus, I capture a meditative mood in my paintings and create works that do not pass like a brief moment. Just like a view from the train window, past which the world rushes and turns on.
