Passion for painting starts early | Watercolor & watery paint application<\/h3>\n

Painting is the big constant in my life. It all started with a small watercolor box with seven colors<\/strong> – when I was about 13 I was sitting in various VHS courses with lots of seniors. Nobody bothered – least of all me. I stayed with watercolor for years, it wasn’t until 2001 that I got to know acrylic painting in large format on canvas in the free painting school of the two artists J\u00fcrgen Sage and Astrid Albers in Berlin. The love for the watery application of paint is still evident today in the papers for my collages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The way to independence<\/h3>\n

I was born (1973) and grew up in Ludwigshafen am Rhein. After completing my master’s degree in German and history in Mannheim and Waterloo \/ Canada (1994-2000), I worked in Berlin, later in Allg\u00e4u, then in Chiemgau as a product manager in the food industry until 2009. Painting was my constant companion during this time. But it wasn’t until 2009<\/strong> that I packed up all my courage and made my dream come true to work as a freelance artist<\/strong> and photographer. Many group exhibitions followed, the first large solo exhibition, at which I was able to show my entire portfolio, took place in 2016.

Gallery Representationn<\/h3>\n

Since 2022 I am respresented by the belgian FROCK Gallery, an artgallery in Ypres (Belgium)<\/a>. In November \/ December 2022 I had the last show there. Some works are still available at the webshop of the gallery. In April 2025 I am going to have the next grand exhibition there.

Further education | Autodidact<\/h3>\n

my Atelier is located in the industrial area in Graefelfing near Munich in the beautiful W\u00fcrmtal.<\/strong> I took a lot of further training at art academies such as the free art academy in Augsburg, at the Academy of Arts in Kolbermoor or at the Bad Reichenhall art academy, because self-taught people like me are always inspired by new ideas and techniques. At this point I would like to highlight the Augsburg artist Andrea Rozorea, who has supported me very much in my own artistic career. Today we have a close friendship and we have already carried out several exhibition projects together.

Portfolio with 3 focal points<\/h3>\n

I have three main directions in my art. On the one hand, the abstract free painting with acrylic paint in large format<\/strong> on canvas, then I also like to deal with structuring materials such as ash, sand, rock flour, coffee grounds and pigments in my painting. I am happy to work with these so-called mixed media<\/strong> on wood. And finally, I am passionate about creating abstract collages from fine Chinese paper<\/strong> . The three techniques are explained in more detail in a short film about me.

Catalogs<\/h2>\n

Acrylic painting during lockdowns, shift work & contrast program<\/h3>\n

I show completely new works in acrylic in the catalog “Acrylmalerei”. It includes the works that were created during the lockdowns (17 paintings). Catalogs were published on the occasion of the two exhibitions in 2016 and 2017, although “Shiftwork” is unfortunately already out of print. The “Contrast Program” catalog covers the main works from May 2016 to April 2017. It contains about 60 pages and is richly illustrated.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately all catalogs are out of stock.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”11629″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8425″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8989″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1589036216862{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1590315247296{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]\n
