this is the orbital search for harmony, in the conjunction with each indivdual microworld of mine…to become a complete planet. i hope my soul’s geology – these imaginary sediments – is a visual treat to you. mixed media: acrylics, inks, metallic pigments. all embedded in resin and plywood (40 x 40 cm)
lapland impressions (6) – frosty. this work came to life last summer in my cottage in lapland: an experiment in highly playful way…and it was such fun working with these materials 🙌 mixed media: alcohol inks, alu-foil, layered resin on ceramic and wood.

„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 !!)
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).
