Essence & presence
New works 2024
Acrylic, ink on canvas and acrylic, ink on copper leaf on canvas, 2023-24.
What is our authentic core, our origin, our essence, from which we have evolved through the spiral of time and space into an individual presence?
The image of the "inner egg" or "inner seed" became quite apparent to me, while pondering this question. Similar to eggs, seeds are the origin of all living things. Both hold the authentic, whole blueprint (the essence), all of the developmental potential, and the individual signature (presence) of the plant, animal, or human.
If we return to our core, our seed, we return to our original self - to our "default settings" and our entire potential.
Here lies the all-encompassing power that a seedling musters to pierce the asphalt, or a chick to break open the eggshell.
These new works feel enigmatic: painted in a new technique on copper leaf on canvas or wood, they are atmospheric, ethereal, abstract, and anthropomorphic, appearing antique and futuristic, old and new at the same time. They're reminiscent of religious ikons and modernist abstract paintings. They vibrate in a field where idea and matter, intention and form coexist and flow into one another, the field from where we are always able to tap into our entire potential.

I enjoy bringing my art straight into people’s daily lives, to the spaces they regularly live/work in, to their houses, office buildings, the public space and landscape.
Why?
I have experienced many times that my art works allow people to easily connect with the space, the site and the building they will live or work in.
My Art is the missing link between people and architecture
With my art works, I am able to create a holistic relationship and communication between people and architecture on an emotional, physical, psychological AND metaphysical level. A quality reserved for art and an essential reason why art should not be missing from any architecture project!
My architecture-related artworks are always created individually in and for the respective spatial context. In doing so, I include all levels of the given architecture, people, place, materials and I develop an art work, that is a symbiosis of all these elements, and that, as a whole, is more than the sum of its parts. My art works are the link, the bridge and the glue between architecture and humans.
My art and architecture projects include two and three dimensional site specific art in office buildings, private houses, urban public spaces as well as gardens, and, upcoming, also large, landscape and environmental art projects.
