Abstraction is a form to relate to the world and to relate my inner landscape with the world. My understanding of abstractions takes its meaning of abstracting real life objects but aplying them on emotions - and asking what abstraction of feelings and a „Zustand“ looks like.During the process I am able to translate inner worlds into symbols, atmospheres and expressions.
In my work I try to pursue and to reveal the spirit of my subconscious in visual form. The act of creation is a performance deeply rooted in a specific process guided by music.
Music manages to unlock the emotional language while the rational side shifts into the background. This openes the way to an archaic process that brings me deeper and deeper into an almost sacred space. I create the works from this mystical energy.
This is how the painterly corset is created: atmospherically with specific layers dividing the foreground and the background and creating very intentionally a liminal in between space. In a further process the layers are filled with elements, sometimes narrative, sometimes mystically inviting the viewer to feel the force of creation.
Throughout the works I study and define the specific abstract expressions in dialog with symbols, mystical figures and the enigmatic worlds that show up - similar to a dream.
Art is energy, creation in progress. Art is liberation. Art is a language that has no words. Art is a savior. Art is a free spirit and a little light in the dark.
