„Art is a slice of reality seen through the artist’s temperament,” I consider myself a searching artist… I hate to close myself within one creative path, as I hate mannerism and pigeonholing. Every new artistic idea, whether it be painting, furniture design and set design, acting in the public space is a conscious risk-taking to create an entirely new world of experimentation regardless of fashion and current trends… I want to be myself all the time…
Series of 35 images inspired by a small German seaside resort of Travemünde. It is a completely new painting project, launched in 2012 it will premiere at the BWA it’s unfettered combining of multiple techniques, ranging from oil painting, to acrylic, collage, markers, glue and paper.
