LARGE MODERN STATEMENT-PIECE

Large colorful abstract work, inspired by the book “The Interpretation of Dreams” (1900) by Sigmund Freud. Beneath the surface, where daylight fades, there are more answers than we have asked. Our thinking is just the tip of the iceberg.

LARGE MODERN STATEMENT-PIECE

Large colorful abstract work. Do you feel the melancholy that has settled over the city together with the frost? Years pass, nothing stays the same, nothing stands still, and we too, you and I, change ourselves. Just as it has happened all the generations before, and just like all the people around us. What stories may be hidden in this great city?

LARGE MODERN STATEMENT-PIECE

Large colorful abstract work, inspired by the visit to the house and gardens of Claude Monet in Giverny, France, where Monet lived and painted for 43 years. The world is like a big garden, full of secrets that can only be revealed with time and in silence. And nature as a great, true muse that loses none of its power even in abstraction.

INTO THE WARMING NIGHT
triptych 2023 - three monochrome studies
vertical hanging (on top of each other): 120 (w) x 250 (h) x 2 cm
optional horizontal hanging (side by side): 380 (w) x 80 (h) x 2 cm
ink, acrylic and oil on canvas

Three monochrome paintings (studies on canvas), combined as triptych, in a landscape format, that very consciously refer to the (only apparent) lightness of watercolors, Chinese ink painting, and the wonderful handling of melancholy drawn in water. These three studies create a bridge between my small ink drawings on paper and my large statement pieces on canvas. My inner inspiration: Love finds a place, even in the dark, even when there seems to be no hope. No light shines brighter than that of love, even in the midst of a moonless, black night. Love means eternity, because love is immortal.

This trilogy contains 3 single paintings, each in ink, acrylic and oil on canvas and each with dimensions of 120 (w) x 80 (h) x 2 cm. The triptych offers two very different hanging possibilities.
(a) vertical hanging on top of each other: beautiful and very creative hanging method if you have enough ceiling height. If so I prefer a hanging distance each of 5 cm between the 3 single paintings. In that case the complete dimension, including the hanging space between the three paintings: 120 (w) x 250 (h) x 2 cm.
(b) horizontal hanging side by side: traditional and also beautiful hanging method. If so I prefer a hanging distance each of 10 cm between the 3 single paintings. Complete dimensions of this artwork, including the hanging space between the single paintings: 380 (w) x 80 (h) x 2 cm.

The triptych combines following studies and should "read" from top to bottom (hanging on top of each other) respectively from left to right (hanging side by side): "BEYOND THE HORIZON", "BEAUTIES ALONG THE WAY" and "LOVE ALWAYS FINDS ITS WAY"

LARGE MODERN MONOCHROME STATEMENT-PIECE

Large monochrome work in ink, oil and acrylic that very consciously refers to the (only apparent) lightness of watercolors and Chinese ink painting and the wonderful handling of melancholy drawn in water.

"Sometime, somewhere, somehow... when we will meet, in the morning of the day. Under low hanging clouds, in the vastness of a distant land, will we recognize each other?"

LARGE MODERN MONOCHROME STATEMENT-PIECE

Large monochrome work in ink, oil and acrylic that very consciously refers to the (only apparent) lightness of watercolors and Chinese ink painting and the wonderful handling of melancholy drawn in water.

"Like all our ancestors, we will find the answers in the midst of the forest, sheltered by tall trees and thick foliage, far from all that is superficial. There is no such thing as perfection, only the pursuit of it."

LARGE-SIZED TRIPTYCH AS STATEMENT PIECE

Large monochrome work, that very consciously refers to the (only apparent) lightness of watercolors, Chinese ink painting, and the wonderful handling of melancholy drawn in water. These three statement paintings carry my creative philosophy and appearance of my smaller ink drawings on paper to the large format and canvas. Furthermore, my inner inspiration for this emotional work: Love finds a place, even in the dark, even when there seems to be no hope. No light shines brighter than that of love, even in the midst of a moonless, black night. Love means eternity, because love is immortal. This triptych combines the following works and should be "read" from left to right:

left: WHEN WE WILL MEET IN THE MORNING OF THE DAY
middle: LOVE I FEEL BLOSSOMS INTO BITTERSWEETNESS
right: UNDER DARK LEAVES I DREAM OF A PERFECT WORLD
all paintings: 2023. ink, acrylic and oil on canvas
each painting: 120 (w) x 150 (h) x 2 cm. 47,2 (w) x 59,1 (h) x 0,79 inches

“I’ve always loved black, and I realized that, from the beginning, man went into completely dark caves to paint. They painted with black too. They could have painted with white because there were white stones all over the ground, but no, they chose to paint with black in the dark.”
~ Pierre Soulages

I AM THE SEA AND THE COAST (diptych)

TWO LARGE-SIZED PAINTINGS COMBINED
AS LARGE-SIZED DIPTYCH

Statement piece as large-sized diptych: I share the opinion of the famous Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944), that paintings contain not only a creative message as single piece. You can look at them also in a major conceptional context. The diptych I AM THE SEA AND THE COAST combines two new and essential of my works from aesthetic standpoints as well as with regard to contents:

Inspired by endless summer walks along the coast of Mallorca…
The Morning – The Evening. Lights and colors during the day are different. There are similarities, but every phase of the day stays independent und has its very own feelings. The sea was, is and always will be a major place of longing for humans. The numeration is almost limitless: brightness, the Azure, summer (although I love the hibernal sea too), sand, waves, never ending noises of brakers and sea gulls, salt in the mouth and at the skin. Warmth, wanderlust and downtime. The sea deeply touches in its nativeness, autarchy, also destructiveness and its existence from the beginning to the end of all times. Everyone of us ties his own stories with the sea.
