After high school: studies of classical philology at the University of Heidelberg, Germany
early specialization in portraits in oil, mixed technique, collage and pastell,
graduated civil servant of teaching. Artistically productive since schooldays and creating designs of book covers, production and writing of puppet shows including the arrangement and design of the scenery, indoor mural art, abstract painting in oil, acryllic and mixed technique.
By painting, I try to explore the paradox of the human being living alone in community.
Whom are we representing and who are we in reality? Already in our personal lives, we have troubles to answer this question completely. As a portrait artist, my task is to discover consistently this difference in every personality. My responsability is to pick it out as a central theme. In order to achieve this, not only the facial expressions, the colours and „moods“ are important, but also the confrontation of every personality with their own contexts. By this means, the difference between the personality and its self-portrayal appears I often begin an abstract painting by softening up archetypical geometrical forms, I put on the canvas before.
After that and within these forms, I create ideas to design the painting. The subtleties operate as counterpart of the basic forms. On this stage, my paintings receive the „character“. Expressions and spaces get introduced into the formation. My aim is to excite the observer to „finish“ the painting by himself, to motivate his imagination to create his personal image in a specific situation. The painting works as a peg on which to hang the personal interpretation of the observer.
