Original artwork description:

The painting invites immersion in the colourful elegance of nature. The emphasis lies in the tensions between the white birches in the foreground, the bright red hues of the middle ground, and again the colour of the sky, which is also reflected in the water of the creek running through the scenery. The effect of this play between different planes, colours, and textures in the painting emphasises its layerdness. For a painter these layers and textures can only become visible by means of close observation, and looking ‘beyond’ the elements in nature, a process embodied in the paintings in which every brushstroke forms a meaningful entity in the emerging whole.
