Intention

meaning: Good question, I would call it a collage of clichés, as an atheist I like to play with the religious pathos, and in my art, I like to use some of the things you find in the old masters art, big emotions beautiful objects.

As a reaction to an art world that is often based Art theology and relativism, where the idea and not the quality is at the center.

But I try to paint them as beautiful and so picturesque that it itself hides the underlying irony and thus can create a conflict and kognetiv disonanse for the viewer.

Personally I'm more interested in science than art, when the new art is found in the sciences.
Let it be said that I find all the art in which execution is supporting the work interesting ..

And no, I do not believe in angels

I work in figurative painting, using Goethe's color theory as a starting point for my use of color
... that is Red, Yellow and Blue as the base color (Color Circle)!

When I asked what I'm working on as a subject, I usually reply that I work with
Objects, often taken from nature as well as people and landscapes!
The aim of my paintings is still the painting / the picturesque.
The objects are the means!

What I want to achieve is to penetrate as far as possible into myself and push my abilities so that it
at one time or another occurs aesthetics / poetry!

A good painting will give a sense of meaning, on a par with music, philosophy, poetry,
literature and especially science!

My project is to create quality items!


It is a project of an entire lifetime.
