Food For Thought About the Condition Of Our Time
Topic: coming soon
Mastertapes, oil on canva, 2014 - work in progress
Description:
Many people remain in our promotional rated era no time for reflection. Most
people and institutions are so busy with the everyday duties and their
special tasks, that they often do not notice the bigger picture, and also
very important nuances and details. The is quite natural and not meant
reproachfully, this is also no charge, but a survey! Therefore, it needs
sensitive, open-minded people who are not trapped in this tensions and
thus may have a more free, non-alternate direct view of the world.
Especially artists are predestined, as long as they take care not only
about their own individual perspectives.

A Trip Into The Holier-Than-Thou-Land
Topic: Religion, Politics und Power
Mastertapes, oil on canvas, 2009 - in progress
Description:
What I as a painter can achieve through my pictures is a shift of perspectives which is necessary
in the most positive sense. For this, no one naturally needs to fundamentally relinquish his own
position, but the willingness to step into the other’s shoes is absolutely necessary. As this
is not always possible in the day-to-day life together and in the search for solutions, I as
Pinselartist® move into the varying positions and take on
the respective perspectives. Only distance and the willingness to change perspective truly opens
one’s eyes. In the final analysis, this is consistent and open humanism in painted form.

Beach of my Dreams
Topic: Human egoism and improvidence
Mastertapes, acrylic on canvas, 2003
Description:
Sometimes through lack of attention or pure egoism, other people force us to alter our course. All of us have experienced this on the roads, forced to alter either pace or course by speed merchant or slow crawler. The same thing occurs on the beach, albeit far less frequently.
