Patterns of Reality – Painting between Unity and Diversity
"I see the world as a constantly evolving work of art. Wherever spirit and creativity meet, new orders emerge: patterns, rhythms, condensations. Making these invisible connections visible - or at least sensible - is the central theme of my work.
My visual language is predominantly abstract and explores phenomena, structures, and energies that oscillate between stillness and movement. In series, I also incorporate motifs from nature - not as representations, but as resonant spaces for perception. This creates visual worlds that make the coexistence of unity and diversity tangible: the large in the small, the recurring in the unique.
The path to the painting is both precisely prepared and open-ended. Many works begin as notes in a sketchbook; from these, I develop compositions that grow layer by layer in the process – through overlays, condensations, and deliberate empty spaces. Harmony and balance of color are the foundation of this. In keeping with my nature, I work methodically without losing the productive friction of chance.
I choose materials and techniques according to the specific task at hand: I also use watercolor – somewhat unusually – in opaque painting, for example, in graphically structured works. I use metallic watercolors for transparent, light-guiding layers. Acrylic and mixed media are used in all formats; digital processes serve as a field of experimentation and for preparing art prints, without replacing the tactile character of the original.
I'm interested in the questions, emotions, and perceptions that an image triggers. Therefore, I see my work as an invitation to dialogue: to look slowly, to reflect further, to engage in conversation. When viewers discover their own traces in my images - and within them the tension between order and freedom, between unity and diversity - this fulfills the core of my artistic drive.
My painting is an invitation to experience the structures of the world as a living composition: open, polyphonic, interconnected.”
