Sunflowers Painting

Born and went to school in Berlin. This was followed by studies at the Berlin University of the Arts with Prof. Wolfgang Ludwig and Hans Förtsch graphic design. Graphic tasks were taken over, exhibition stands designed and realized. This was followed by studying pedagogy as well as free drawing and painting. After years with changing moves within Germany and Netherland, the long stay in Worpswede (a small artist village in North Germany) with an own gallery and permanent exhibitions. Before returning to Berlin, there was a forced artistic break due to a car accident with a broken right arm. This time started with the airbrush and water color, because to use the time of rehab and the exercises to be able to draw again, I discovered the airbrush. The "water pictures" are made, whereby the paper and its processing play an important role. In addition, I could and still can express moods and feelings with the airbushbworks. After long time of restoration, the 2nd phase Artistic work. My artistic focus is drawing. In order not to get lost in the details, I first chose the monotype, which required a loose, unencumbered line. By producing monotypes in which a paint roller rolls out the required color and transfers it to paper or canvas, the "roller painting" developed. With this technique I have to capture the view and atmosphere of a city. The coloring has changed over time. I now prefer pure colors instead of matte mixed colors. That way I can better represent what I want to express.
