On the ground of a well with many steps and stairs

The heretics in the graves seen by Dante (red) and Virgil (white).

This is the introduction of 100 paintings about Divina Comedia ,written by Dante. Its a project and shall be finished in two years.
All paintings are on paper in combination of collage with acryl.
From every song I choose some parts of the text and transfer it in my interpretation and show my view of the situation.
For the collage i use free pics from internet, printings of classic and historical paintings or parts of copies of my own paintings from my datei.
Mostly the parts of the collage are so much covered or repaired by color that the viewer will not find the origin which i used before.

Dante is back in Florenz.
He became the most famous poet of middleage.
He was th first who created such a poem in italian language and not in latin-as usual at that time.

A valley of blood crossed by dangerous horsemen.

A Harpye - a bird with human face- sitting on a tree - talking to Dante and Virgil.

The bride of wind - free sexuality.

The naked soals, sitting or running but crying.
A slow rain of flames falling down on them.
