Original artwork description:

"Dare to do it!" is bold, it is crazy, it is punchy, it is edgy. It needs somebody, who is this himself. Nothing for the faint-hearted. A bright and colourful diptych, the main colours are pink, green, blue and yellow. Mixed media / collage.

In a really colourful painting phase I started "Dare to do it!" as a black and white painting, I wanted to refrain from the colours. It was nice working black and white, apply collage elements (paper), get some texture on the painting... But as if by an invisible hand the colour came back on my brushes, and it turned out to be a great piece of work! So, just "Dare to do it!".

You can hang "Dare to do it!" in different ways - they belong together, but they work as verticals or horizontals, so they are not signed on the front but signed and dated on the back (have a look at the close ups).

Sealed with a silky glossy varnish. The painting are sold unframed and has to be framed (the frame in the photographs is just an example). Both paintings have a little white rim (about 1 cm) around, so you need no mount.

Each piece 70 x 50 x 0,1 cm | 27,6 x 19,7 x 0,1 in.

I find my inspirations in colours and materials - for example in a beautiful deep turquoise mountain lake or in the washed-out grey of concrete in a city. Based on such impressions and inspirations I commence my work and my artwork often comes to life in little series. Each painting is unique and the creation and development of each painting is a time consuming and slow process, usually lasting many weeks and in some cases up to a few months.

My paintings are acrylic mix paintings, for example, acrylic paint with charcoal, oil pastels, pencils, spray paint and many other artistic materials. I often combine these materials with natural materials and objects from nature (e.g., leaf seeds) as well as with ash, sand or building materials such as grout or plaster.

My pieces of art are created informally. Each step builds on the previous step, leaving room for chance but also for corrections and erasures, until the final finished artwork has evolved as a composition of colour, shape, texture and surface.

Due to the complexity of my paintings and the interplay of (collage) materials, my works are not simply one-dimensional, rather they entice the viewer not just to explore them with their eyes but also to touch them.

My works of art are informal; they are my personal expressions of my experiences and impressions and each piece of art is truly unique and only one of its kind.
