Malaga Impression
The light during the sunset hour in southern Spain is spectacular. What was known and familiar turns into strange and somehow exotic impressions - changing every minute.
The painting Malaga Impression, together with Quo Vadis, ment a new step in painting Cityscape impressions. Although they seem to be more realistic, compare to my Echo In The Open Window series paintings, in fact they are again painted without any reference photo or scetch, but from fresh memory, imagination, intuition and invention.
Malaga Impression and Quo Vadis, both paintings were created short after visiting the most important cities of Andalucia: Cordoba, Sevilla, Granada and our nearby and loved Malaga City. I have visited these towns so often, the center and the less spectacular quarters, and every time again they show new surprising aspects to me.

La Luna Llena (Fullmoon)

Mixed Media, Collage, acrylic, metal, sand, goldleave, paper, 100 x 80 cm, 2017
La Luna Llena - Fullmoon belongs to the "Echo In The Open Window" series.
Imagine: Listening to the delicate sounds of a bright Fullmoon night: the soft brise, the waves in a continous coming and going, a distant echo of a night bird-call.... Everything lying in mysterious peace.
Since living in the countryside of Andalucia/Spain I´m very much aware of the changing of seasons and the rythm of nature: How the nightsky change its aspect, which stars are visible, where the sun sets in wintertime and where in summertime. And I love to follow the phases of the moon, new moon, waxing moon, fullmoon and vice versa, but I love especially the clear fullmoon nights.

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 Beauty Of Days Gone By

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