My artwork

I do find sources of inspiration, motifs, and the energy flow for painting while travelling. It is that very moment of being in a street, sensing emotions, sitting in a café or in the country side that kicks off a sketch, a drawing, a certain element or even an entire painting.

Being one of the travelling artists we meet in European and international locations, create even our artworks in busy streets, public piazzas, surrounded by locals, tourists, and even entire school classes - what happened to me in France. We also simply rest in fascinating landscapes or at very lonely places. Inspired by the beauty we encounter around us and distinct lifestyles, this is how manifold and unique artworks get created. We see many great artworks from artists from developing countries, encountering challenges and reflecting these challenges of hunger, war, tragedy, suffering, and hope in their works.

Observing and digesting arrive as a pair: the glimpse of catching something and letting it flow and revealing it later is a process of its own. To me it happens in a very moment of inner resting and energy flow, almost unconsciously. It helps to reveal inner feelings and thoughts and bring them onto the surface.

Artwork does not only express our way of expressing ourselves. The artwork you purchase and collect reflects your way of expressing yourself, too. A painting makes a difference to your home, office and when handing it over as a gift.
