Painting is a language straight from the soul


It took me a while to realize that painting is my way to be, that colour is my language. A language that is speaking without words or even longing behind the world of words.

Each colour finds it´s own special expression when used in a painting. Feelings, psychological states and existential questions are condensed through the application of paint into a very own pictorical space.

Painting is a seecret language that comes straight from the soul. It´s a current journey to express things you can´t find words for and you never know, where it takes you in the end. That´s why it is such an exciting way to work but also needs a lot of courage just to let the painting drop into your soul and onto the canvas. It is like walking over a bridge you cannot see yet.
