lapland blues, or cornflowers in the snow: acrylic polymer binder, inks, resin on ceramic (30x50cm)
i really was somewhat surprised that one morning the earth was covered by 10 cm snow – in the middle of the lapland’s summer!!
lapland impressions: colours and sentiments, running down my spine. mixed media: alcohol inks, resin etc. on ceramic and wood. (sold)
„should i stay or should i go“: acrylic on canvas (100×100 cm). yeah, the universe beneath us is incredible, fantastic in its abundance and variety…i love the swirling amongst the fishswarm while painting in half-trance – and whilst diving in a real, deep sea…(this one was a commissioned work and i had to struggle a very long time until i could even start, but then, it was really flowing. anytime i swear, never again a custom order…till i do it again…😱 (ps: sorry, after posting this work, i realized that the painting was already released earlier !!)
the work was born last summer (2017) in my cottage in finland/lapland, some 200 kilometers to the north of the arctic circle. i had kind of home chemistry over there, experimenting with different materials: acrylic paints, inks, chemicals, water and fire… i really could enjoy painting to the fullest, ‚cause the sun didn’t set… mixed media: layered bioresin with acrylics, inks, metallic pigments etc. on metal.
lapland’s fells conceal mysteries. this is no surprise, since they have been there for so many tens of millions of years just where they are today. telling me never ending stories. mixed media: inks, metallic pigments, bio-resin etc. on ceramic and wood.

lapland impressions – glowing like an emerald. mixed media: inks, metallic pigments, alcohol, bio-resin etc. on ceramic and wood. this was an interesting experiment – to use alcohol for a painting, instead of drinking it 😉😂
my anothermicroworld – geology of the soul (22). somebody said once the soul is a circle. i have always loved this symbol for wholeness and eternity, as i love our circular planet of mother earth, too – the home of all humanity. my job is to dream and to create new sights and worlds, where we hopefully understand each other without words, through imagery language. mixed media: acrylic paints, inks, mixatives and bio-resin, all embedded in plywood (40 x 40 cm).
