Color has always been close. As a specialized offset printer / color
mixer, reproducer of antique ceramic tile panels and a painter,
there has always been curiosity and the urge to create. Driven and
searching for more than display of image. Based on an idea and
improvising photo sessions, I look for surprising images that appeal
to me for some reason. I edit or combine elements that show me a
personal direction. I add and leave out. Sometimes the image itself
finds its way. Searching for the most penetrating expressiveness
of the image, I paint in oil, building layer after layer, and wet in wet,
patient and detailed. Sometimes unambiguous, often alienating,
contradictory or with a touch of surrealism. The structure of
fabrics and the naturalness of skin are a recurring challenge. The
collaboration with a female model, a muse, leads to a period from
which realistic romantic paintings arise.
