Artist’s statement

My work focuses on texture and Colour (-Field) compositions. Discreet colours, surface structures and textures of the urban and natural environment inspire me, creating new abstract compositions or restructured textured paintings. One focus of my work are reduced paintings in colour and texture. The works reflect my attitude of life and of painting ‘less is more’. In times of overload of visual impressions, I try to send the viewer on a journey of discovery across the painting surface and sensitive him for the few and less in colour, structures, cracks and textures. “Material, colour and composition, a perpetual challenge to create something new “.
