About the artist
Member since the very beginning
My pictures are illustrations of my thoughts and, as a writer uses words as his tool for expression, a painter uses colours. Every time, it’s a special experience for me, when I can visualize an idea in the shape of an image. For me, it has never been a question whether I should express myself in abstract or realistic form. The creative act begins with the de-naturalization of a form and, what is important to me, is that I am true to myself in representing my feelings. It’s up to me, whether a painting imparts positive or negative feelings. I like to leave the observer to himself and to his spontaneous impressions. When these impressions perchance concur with my own mental image, I succeeded in communicating.
