About me
Jochen Hein (Jochen_Hein)
"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened."

I apologize for taking as long as I have to respond to you or make any commentary on your work.Your work is of such quality and prolific breadth that I wanted to sit at my computer for more then a couple minutes at a time to be a considerate audience.
I am flattered that you would take interest in my images and even more so that you would give such positive feedback.You demonstrate a technical mastery in line with the very best representational painters.The kind of people that set the bar to which I am striving.Guys like Paul Fenniak, Nerdrum, Sophie Jodoin, Christian Vincent and Alex Kanevsky.I'm not saying I'd want to emulate you but your polish and resolve is so pronounced one could take nothing away from or add to the images you've made and do them any service.I would one day like to say the same about my own stuff. The compositional arrangements of the figures on the black ground with the portraits is so perfect. A refreshing minimal place that lets the precisely observed and nuenced rendering breath in a singular psychologal space.These people share a nobility alone and set apart from everything.
What keeps you working so much with acrylics as opposed to oils? Are there any contemporary painters that you draw from lately?
Thank you very much for sharing your work and observations with me and all of us.

Compliments! I think your work is really interesting, modernist always remaining painting.
As I am a "kitsch" painter what I prefer are the portraits.
