| About the Artist | |
I am a full time artist. I use brush, carving knife, camera lens and other tools for my work. I create art that tells a story, that moves, that seduces. Elements of traditional techniques and materials in new contexts are the recipe for my brew and through that hopefully recognized for its uniqueness. If I can create a dialogue with the viewer, using images from life in all its facets, I am content. |

Dry Land
2006 |
)
|
| from the "Magic Landscapes" series. Fascinated by the colours of the desert, which can change completely during a day, I tried to show the paradoxa of a landscape that obey the natural laws of nature. While the dune like formations seem to be a solid mass, the surface of the dried river bed appears fragile and delicate. But in reality the opposite is true: dunes are the fragile element, ever changing with the wind and the dried river bed has turned into solid earth, hard as stone when the water is all gone.

| from the "Magic Landscapes" series. The landscapes of southeast Asia seem to hold a very special attraction on westerners - because they guarantee a of exotic aura and life, although the reality may not be exotic at all due to great poverty in those countries.

| from the series "Reminiscences". Reminiscences is a series of paintings from a photo documentation about the Olympic Student Village in Munich. In 1966 Munich was awarded the Olympic Games for 1972. The Oberwiesenfeld, an undevelopped district of the city, became the Olympia Park and developed later into a famous touristic attraction because of its futuristic roofs. Part of the Olympia Park was a conglomeration of tiny, 2-story bungalows which first served as appartments for the athletes and after the games became part of the student housing of the Ludwig-Maximilian University and connected institutes, mostly for foreign students. In 2002 part of those bungalows were renovated for the EM (European Athletics Championship) and again became part of the housing of the athletes during the contest. A famous characteristic feature of the the Student Village were the murals and paintings on the bungalows, expressing the European spirit of the times with graffiti and bright colours, motifs from comics and other subjects, a very colourful collection of images. The bungalows are in a desolate condition after 35 years. The city decided to tear them down and rebuild them with new units rather than renovating them. The new bungalows will be even a bit smaller but providing more appartments for future students. The sad thing is, that all the paintings will be lost, as well as the charming green jungle, that grew up in the past 35 years including some smashing wonderful cherry trees, which were a feast for the eye each spring. Therefore I decided to put up a little "memorial" by creating a last photo documentation and turning these photos into a series of paintings. |
