my anothermicroworld – geology of the soul / golden islands (16). mixed media: steelplate, acrylic paints, inks, mixatives, resin – all embedded in plywood (40 x 40 cm). somebody said once about this work: „another circular door for us to open in our minds. once open, we allow ourselves to drift into dreams and experience deep positive feelings.“
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)
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 science – my cells (7): working in concert with one another…to keep outside out, allow necessities in, permit others to leave . the idea to have in the cells a mirror of the circle of live fascinates me!! to me this also looks like spheres that evolved in the foam of the surf between sea and land, as a primeval cell 🤗 mixed media, inter alia airbrush colours, acrylics, bio-resin, embedded in plywood (40 x 40 cm).
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).
