I have to paint...

Especially when there is a topic that touches, concerns or almost knocks me down!

So I start looking for the actors of my concern...

Mostly it's women who have a lot to do with myself.

Almost always there is also an animal in the picture...

An animal that supports the wearer as a power animal, as a companion, as consolation or also as a consultant.

This is how history takes its course...

A sketch on paper, a preliminary drawing with chalk on canvas...

Purple's my black...

The first contours are created with violet acrylic paint, then the shades.

When I paint I pay attention to reduction...

Only days later come the colors. And only when my theme has found its expression in the picture am I satisfied, and the picture is finished.
