Berlin, Germany •
Artist (painting) •

I am a painter and violinteacher in Berlin. My works have been exhibited for 25 years and are represented in private and public collections.

Painting and my violin have accompanied me since early childhood.

My painting theme are colorfields that find expression in a variety of forms, often self-invented techniques and with different media, mostly in series.
This perhaps corresponds to the musical form 'theme with variations'.

The formal and technical variations in my paintings arise in correspondence with my respective life themes and situations.

The selection of works presented here is divided into three categories:

dots

stripes

colorfields

The tension between freedom and limitations is the main theme of my painting. How much structure does freedom need in order to be able to develop to its maximum .....this is an important question for me, that can be found in my paintings,
primarily in the use of the line as a limiting element
or-actually- in my 'dots'as the only structure-forming marks allowed.

In general, the dots series brings an unexpected additional benefit to my art... that is the meditative flow during the constant repetition of dots. I get bored very quickly with traditional meditation, but these abstract pointillist paintings require a high degree of mindfulness and presence.
So, if some people think, that the dots are a strict corset, I can only say, that the freedom here lies in painting them, nothing more and nothing less. It's about the process, not the result. This is pure freedom. I would be happy if some of this deceleration spilled over to one or another viewer
