working in
tourism
since
1970, I lived
overseas and travelled around in
Europe, America, Asia and Africa (11
years in Kenya). The last 22 years I lived
in Palma de Mallorca / Spain and now
I’m back in Germany.
I started painting as a child and
meanwhile painting art is my passion, my
most favorite hobby. With mostly strong
colors I’m able to express my various
impressions and ideas, which cool me
down and relax. I’m autodidact – of all
tried out materials I prefer painting with
acrylics and especially on wood.
Travelling such a lot left its marks on
my art. I get inspired by everything,
what is surrounding me – every kind of
art, books, culture, traditions, pictures,
textiles, exhibitions, events, colors,
light, sea, beach, sunrise and sunset,
animals, landscapes, seasons, nature,
plants and flowers, daily news – the list
is never ending. Especially the colors and the smell of
Africa and Asia are deeply in my memory. sensual attractiveness. The portrayal of perspectives
and mostly the strong expression of bright colors are
my trademark.
My pictorial language mainly consists of a
figurativeness reduced to the essential into which I
ornamental transfer very harmonious forms. This is
completed by my abilities of applying glowing colors.
By achieving a correlation of abstract and figurative
forms and color I’m able to give my work of art some Being commented and complimented by friends, family
and people around me, in the past years my colorful
paintings have found some admirers. My artworks
are now part of private collections worldwide, such as
Germany, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United
States, India and Australia.
