Base on the picture comprehension, my paintings do not belong to a concrete style. The way and manner how space is reproduced on the canvas,leads to a kind of picture language, in wich the simplified clear shape, a flat colourlaying and chromatic separation are the most frequent characteristics. The idea is, that every painting forms a comprehended world of it’s own with individual conditions. The autonomy of colour and shape, the way how they’re set in relation on the canvas, the arranging of various elements with clear outlines detached from perspective illusion and true to nature illumination are further style characteristics which give a proper expression to the picture.There is no fixed sphere of themes, partly seen, partly fictitious mostly recognized by assosiacion, colours and shapes are set to each other and one upon another, until the final definition is found. An imaginary world with memories to the seen. The finished painting so far reveals more a kind of reflexion than a theory trans-formed into a picture. The visual discussion, the search of tension and harmony and the ideal expression of the colours set on the canvas, determs the process of painting and is finally motivation for and pleasure in the work. The technical realization is done by application of fast drying pigment colours, which mixed with acryl or casein offer a wide palet of painting posibilities.
