Original artwork description:

At the time this artwork was created, my studio was not yet as warm and cosy as it is today. In fact it used to be an ancient, 500 year old blacksmith's shop in a village in the outskirts of Munich. At that time I had to assemble wood billets in the oven, light it and wait for the fire to heat up the place to temperatures above outside temperature. During this time my mind must have been focused a lot on that fireplace ... :-).

The artwork consists of 2 pieces, each 70 cm high and 50 cm wide. They can be hung directly adjactent to each orther or as a diptych with a small distance in between.

The artwork is painted on canvas, stretched on a wooden frame. It can be hung without framing and will be shipped carefully protected within a cardboard box.

I work with high quality artistic materials - usually acrylic colours, ink and sometimes oil, applying them in many layers. In addition, sometimes I add experimental materials like wood stain, ashes, sand or other finds of nature. My work is inspired by colours and forms evolving form the process of layering – adding and combining colours on wet and dry substrate. The process is emergent – free flow and deterministic aspects are brought together in a creative manner. I kindly invite the viewer to regard the artwork on the one hand as an entire unit, in its composition and overall expression, but on the other hand also to watch out for all the tiny details and fascinating aspects involving the eye of the beholder again and again!
The painting is signed on the backside. A signed Certificate of Authenticity will be included with the artwork.
