La Laguna III
  • La Laguna III

  • Mixed Media, Collage, acrylic, metal, paper, sand, 100 x 80 cm, 2017

    La Laguna III belongs to the "Echo In The Open Window" series.

    A painting about the inner echos and memories: sounds of the relaxing city and reflections of the last sun light on windows and facades.

    It is not easy to explain what exactly I´m doing by creating the Echo In The Open Window paintings, because I follow my intuition, the inner echos and memories. It seems that I´m looking for a way, a crack between the facades to go deep into what I´m at the same time just building up, one upon the other - to reach a place full of peace.

    The sun has set. Reflections of the last golden light

    playing on my window.

    I´m waiting.

    A cooler brise will come soon.

    I´m waiting.

    Good things will happen...

     

    The painting The Beauty Of Days Gone By belongs to the "Echo In The Open Window" series.

    It is the expression of an inner echo: emotional, acoustic and visual memories and imagination. Like as if you hear through the open window the sounds of life from the outside world:

    The wind in the trees or a bird singing, foot steps, soft waves coming and going, motorbikes, someone whisteling. The entire world is there outside and in my mind these acoustic impressions become visible.

    The very special light before the day turnes into darkness: The Golden Hour !

    This is not an every day event, so who is so lucky to see it, will always remember it.

    In these times of worldwide insecureness I would like to stay positive.

    This were my thoughts and feelings when I started this painting in my common abstract way, just enjoying how structures and colors do weave into each other.

    The appearing townscape seemed singing to me and in my imagination I began to walk into the narrow streets (still using paintbrush and spatula) - that´s how all the streets and buildings started growing.

La Laguna I

  • Mixed Media, Collage, acrylic, metal, paper, 100 x 80 cm, 2015

    La Laguna I belongs to the "Echo In The Open Window" series.

    I painted it in January 2015, initially not planned but suddenly developing at the same time as La Laguna I as a Diptychon.

    I was always fascinated by reflections of the last sunlight in the distance, specially on windows and facades. This is pure gold!

    The painting La Laguna I  is inspired by travelling from North Europe, passing Venice and going further on to Marocco. It´s a memory - much more dreamlike than realistic - which comes out of my inner images.

    Using the technique of collage on top of the painted shapes changes its appearance and composition. I like these breakups of the original underlying images because it brings out a special kind of tension or even an exciting risk.

  • Mixed Media, Collage, acrylic, 100 x 80 cm, 2015

    "Behind The LInes I" started as an abstract painting and developed into architectural structures.


    From this moment ongoing I planned it as a Diptychon, working at the same time on two canvases with brushes and palette knife: building up masses, scratching it off, again and again, creating in this way slowly what took form and shape as a mysterious "town" with a quite strong arabic aspect, mixed with venetian elements.

    The actual feeling is. that I have been there. Was it somewhere in Morokko... or in Italy...or was it a dream?

    And does it really matter?
