Artist (painting) •
I am a painter and violinteacher in Berlin. My works have been exhibited for nearly 30 years and are represented in private and public collections.
Painting and my violin have accompanied me since early childhood.
Actually lost in dots, my preferred basic form is 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.... visual experiences from my environment provide the initial spark.
The selection of works presented here is divided into three categories:
dots (2022- )
stripes (2013-2015)
colorfields (2005-2012)
The tension between freedom and its limitation is my main theme . How much structure does freedom need in order to be able to develop to its maximum .....this is an important question for me.
Especially Classisal Music with its many specifications and Abstract Painting in which everything is possible ...this theme can be found in my paintings, mostly in the use of the line as a limiting element,
or-actually- in my 'dots' as the only structure-forming marks . I think it's great to create a feeling of spaciousness by continuosly using small shapes and small formats.
It seams that in my latest series, a mixture of painting and drawing, the idea of colorfields sometimes move into the background ... I'm okay with it.
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 , too much structure ... the freedom here lies in painting them .I think it's great to create a feeling of spaciousness by using small shapes and small formats.
I would be happy, if some of this deceleration spilled over to one or another viewer.
Recently, I found an artist on the Internet, Joachim Szymczak (geb.1952), who summarises his abstract paintings made of dots by the term "meditative pointilism".
Although following a slightly different approach, I find my current works very aptly described by this term, too.
