Larissa with her big brown eyes.
When I was working for a photographic company, that took portraits of children in baby-stores, I found out, that I can get children's attention very easy and was able to take some nice photos for the families.
I used some of them to try out a new technique to combine stencils with oil painting to create very unique portraits.
Technique: Spray and oil paint, four stencils on canvas.
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.
