Additional Information…

Since my earliest childhood, I have been supported by my father and my great-uncle, who drew and painted themselves.                                                                                            

Under the direction of Ullrich Bewersdorff I learned primarily the nude and portrait drawing, as well as the making of wood and linocuts.

In 2011, M. Schäfer, a Berlin painter, took me to her favorite painting and showed me everything that was important for painting with oil paints outside in the landscape.                   

I still like to paint in nature, but also in the studio. If I like the subject, it will not let me go.                  I combine the glaze technique with the impasto style of painting. In addition to the brush, I use a paint knife, spatula or simply my hands. Landscapes and portraits are my passion, whereby I do not want to fit in any drawer, because I like to try out new things and am pleased about successful change.

The most important in my pictures are the colors for me. If they do not create a certain tension, the picture is not finished for me. So that does not happen, I always do some color studies in advance of the current motif.

Increasingly I like larger formats, whereby I mainly use primed canvases as a painting background.

So a commissioned work for the Port of Hamburg was already painted with the dimensions 100 cm x 50 cm by me.                                                                                                                                   My role models are of course the "Old Masters", which bribe with their realistic presentation, the impressionists, which opens up to me the colors in their whole palette, many expressionists, which stimulate me to concentrate on the essentials and many contemporary artists with their refreshing ideas.

So I am torn and painted, painted, painted.
