About life in nature


Most of the time I am outside all day in powerful places in nature, I allow myself to be guided, I feel connected and in harmony with the elements and can recognize myself. Nature gives me security and clarity in the mind, communication takes place non-verbal level. I pause, record, let the magic touch me. The pictures I paint are a gift to nature itself, so I see it, an expression of gratitude for what it gives me, whether in pastel on paper or on Canvas, it pacts me at the right moment and my expression happens, I sometimes feel like I'm being led,. These worlds that I paint there are direct traditions, it is now more important to me that my original language is expressed have recently made it my job to paint more realistic and more lifelike, i.e. to combine technical implementation and expression feeling, but I am aware that it is about the original feeling and the simplest possible implementation that does not falsify or change anything

Painting on the move


On long, extensive hikes I go away from the hustle and bustle of society in areas of silence. Forests and vast landscapes touch me. Life on the move is like magic and I feel like in a magical world. As intimidating cities seem to me, I feel enchanted of nature, a deep feeling of contentment fills me, for me that is the experience of freedom. I look into selected places in the distance and let my eyes wander, then I paint. In symbiosis with the elements I then live in nature, mostly in a tent, and with little food. what matters is the here and now and my individual expression too often I want to paint more and paint my impressions faster, already thought to take pictures but that would not do the whole way justice. So far there have been many journeys on the move and with painting, which usually last weeks, sometimes even months. Encounters along the way are also a great gift. Mostly people wonder about my appearance or what I do they can not classify from afar The fascination of traveling will always remain in my heart and I am looking forward to the next adventure like a child
