"heterogen"

My tree objects, works of graphite, earth and ash, are important works for me. From miniatures, as exhibited, to ten-meter wide "paper sails", which I had to stretch partly standing on an 18-meter high scaffolding, between the branches. And so my drawings are also three-dimensional, that also say titles like, "Drawing on several handmade paper". I draw with graphite in sometimes up to five layers of handmade paper until I get to the base. They are actually drawing reliefs.

 

"The works arise spontaneously .... The simple material and the reduced form is the content and statement of my objects." 

I am working worldwide, with my largely self-made watercolor (pigment) paints on the road, also always in search of new, rare, valuable and exciting types of paper. Thus, new works are always created under the Mediterranean sun, on a Scandinavian coast, a New York hotel room ...
I am an observer of nature and transform my observations on canvas. Painting for me is doing the work. It is the process that leads me to new shapes and colors.

The medium of drawing runs like a thread through my work. My drawings arise spontaneously and unplanned, direct and immediate. They are an outlet for my creative urge and serve to find ideas for performances and objects.

"Art is also a rediscovery of childhood",  because the deep and fatal pitfall in visual art and in life is its dependence on intellect rather than inspiration." 

Anthropomorphic forms that seek the inexplicable and uncanny in the familiar are always the subject of my visual worlds. It is always the attempt to set chains of association in motion and show possible analogies and hidden relationships and at the same time allow different interpretations.

"My compositions deliberately break with the usual points of view and the multi-perspectives prevent a quiet location." 

My inner urge for balance constantly prompts me to give existing, actually discarded a new solid existence - and thus to enter into a profound dialogue between permanence and change - between yesterday and tomorrow.

"First and foremost, it is important for me to go into depth !" 

My artistic medium is drawing - thematically my works revolve around the desire and pleasure to minimize and limit  the search for intensity. The omission causes unstabiliy, there is a false bottom, nothing is clear. The impossibility of achieving perfection stands against the stimulus to try again and again.
I document an inner process without narrative content - disciplined precision pushed to the extreme with relish.
