In art history, the painter Claude Monet stands for water lilies. Among the most beautiful water lilies I have ever seen are those of the castle pond at Schloss Clemenswerth. May this still life remind me of the exhibition ❯ 'The Soul Catcher' in 2015.
For years I have been looking for a counterpart to my portrait of ❯ Bosse in the Forest
. Last year I took part in 'Kunst Offen' exhibition for the first time. And suddenly she was standing in the doorway. Ella. She is nine years old and lives in the neighborhood.
If a painter lives on the coast, he should make that a subject. May the Kluetzer Winkel be the beginning of a series of coastal panoramas. I am looking forward to this exciting journey along the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The char is occasionally on our menu. You can't just eat vegetables and herbs. That's why my doctor calls me a fish vegetarian. This still life wants to tell of what remains after the meal.
Some know it: You drank one over the thirst. The next morning the painful disillusionment. In 2002 I painted a still life on this subject for the first time. Since it is still up to date, I would like to dedicate myself to the topic again.
Borage comes from the Mediterranean. In the 16th century he also reached the country gardens in Germany via France. The plant is used as a spice and medicinal plant. My friend the plumber brought them to me.
Our garden influences my painting again. There is kohlrabi again. In Vienna it is called turnip. The Swiss say turnip cabbage to him. For me it is an apple that I eat while painting.
At the sight of our front yard, some neighbors think of crazy ecofreaks. But no! Not only bees and bumblebees live on, also painters! Here grows, among other things, the tasty wild vegetables called Bishop's Weed.
I can't explain it to myself, but somehow this knotweed plant fascinates me. As a cool compote or on a cake, rhubarb is really delicious. A lot is edible, everything is paintable.
In 2004 I saw him for the first time on the stage of the St. Pauli Theater. Christian Redl is an actor and musician. For years I listen to his music while painting, follow his playing on stage and in the film.
Without this leek, every kitchen is boring. Bacteria are fear of them. What would a tomato without onion be? In addition, they strengthen our bones and the red onions are good for the heart.
