About Me
I'm a fine art painter researching the boundaries and the interactions between digital and analog art.
My artistic journey began in 1990 as I began to study art and painting with the master painter Therese Sigrist in Lucerne, Switzerland. Starting with the impressionists, soon I began to realize that abstraction is my ultimate goal.
After painting and abstracting for over three decades I reached the point, where there is almost nothing left to abstract more. My work speaks through colors and the fine nuances between color patches and the play of warm and cold.
My inspirations are experiences in nature, people I meet and emotions that demand expression in color.
The total dissolution of the form and the reduction to the colored experience, led to the modeling of the surface by the color. A harmony, evoked by the color patches and their relationships, expressed by fine nuances.
In time I developed a certain signature which led a journalist to describe my artwork as almost ‘pixelized’. This was the key moment which made want to research the boundaries and the interactions between digital and traditional art.
My Digians (the word made out of Digital based on Analog) were the first result of my search.
Let go of the learned, allow the sensual
The aim is to create a trilogy between me as a painter, the painting and the viewer, so that the viewer and I are connected by the painting.
The oil paint, with its nature-loving texture, conveys my message in an optimal way. The relationship between warm and cold tones, the play between light and shadow as well as the liveliness of the oil paint create an energy that the viewer cannot escape.
In my recent digital art, I modify, enhance and animate my traditional artwork.
