experimental painting

Actually, it was always there, the love of painting... Even if not always present due to family and work. The shock of my parents after a successful, but not allowed wall painting... Skipping school because of an art exhibition by Nicholas Roerich... And of course a dropped art school that wanted to put me in an academic frame... These are my declarations of love to the free world of colors .

I call myself an autodidact. Online and live seminars with various artists have completed my existing knowledge and experimentation has led me to abstract painting with natural materials using various painting techniques. With the discovery of the world of structures, it became clear to me that I can use the power of the individual elements, shaped by personal emotions and feelings, to express things for which I often lack the words.

My love is experimentation and variety. On the screen I need life: breaks, provocations, interaction, color frenzy, love and incompatibility. I am interested in the diversity of colours, materials and forms, which I live out with presence and spontaneity in my works. Wax, bitumen, slag, bog lye, wood stain, ash, shellac, wallpaper paste, coffee grounds - I experiment with everything that smiles at me.

Since my works are not tied to words, they also have no titles. I would like to offer the viewer an unencumbered space to find his own interpretation and thus a (nick)name for a work.
