Density and Openness

In 2016, the pictorial worlds developed over the past years become further condensed. Gestural traces, figures, signs, and color spaces emerge more confidently without losing their openness. The paintings arise from the interplay of intuition and concentration—each intervention changes the whole and opens up new possibilities.

Layer by layer, a visual language grows that does not aim for unambiguity, but for resonance. Fragments connect into relationships, dissolve again, and find their way back to each other in new form. The visible and the hidden remain inseparably intertwined.

The works of 2016 trust in the power of the painting process. They tell no linear stories, but open up experiential spaces in which memory, present, and imagination flow into one another. In this way, each painting becomes an invitation to engage with what emerges between forms and colors.

The canvas becomes a place of immediate confrontation. Each layer preserves traces of what came before without fully revealing them. Overpaintings do not conceal, but rather expand the space of possibilities.

The paintings seek neither harmony nor provocation. They trust in the dialogue between intuition and experience. In this way, pictorial spaces are created in which memory, the present, and imagination overlap without telling a single, clear story.

The works of 2016 trust in the power of the painting process. They invite the viewer to engage with what emerges between forms and colors—openly, without predetermined interpretation.
