Each one of us can be tranquil and serene in the face of the most pressing difficulties and demands. Serenity and tranquility are contagious, just like smiles. If we smile at a person, they will smile back. Here is to spreading a little serenity and tranquility. Much light.

There Is Something About Watching The Sun Rise

Wherever we may be, there is always something about watching the sun rise. This great ball of fire, the source of all life-giving energy on our planet, reminds me of the close connections all of us have, to the ultimate source of life.
All of us are vibrant beings of energy and our life is a manifestation of our own "wavelengths".
This week let us "vibrate" well and manifest all that we wish for. Much light.

Desperation

I saw this sculpture at the Bröhan Museum, a private collection that documents the history of art in Berlin around the turn of the 20th century. I am increasingly becoming aware of the very important role private collectors play in art and how important it is not only to artists, but also to mankind at large to document the happenings of our times, by buying art, by preserving art.
This sculpture by Grawe for e.g. documents the difficult times of the Twenties right after the First World War. A feminine figure reaching out in desperation.

Warmer shades of gray

Now that I have moved my atelier to the Tegel area in Berlin, and have a fifty minute suburban ride, I use the time to doodle in my little book.
​This time I recorded the flora alongside the S-Bahn tracks. Most of them are still without their foliage. The city is still devoid of all green and has an ugly grey hue engulfing it.
Wish the sun would be back, even if very pale: at least there would be some warmer shades of gray.

    I am an artist. I live and work in Berlin.
    I started to paint colour fields (very much inspired by Mark Rothko and other American Abstract Expressionists) and now have evolved into an admirer of the Bauhaus Movement. I am still  a seeker: minimalist concrete art finds resonance in me, while the rich colours and traditional art forms of my home country that flow in me and breathe in me, also find expression in my work.
    My work, I believe is a synthesis of all these influences and seeming contradictions. I am now knocking a dent into concrete art, non objectively so to speak! I work serially and can endlessly look for emerging patterns in my work.
    This has been a wonderful journey, and as they say: the path is the destination.
    ​In my blog posts, I am letting you have a peek over my shoulder, into my sketch books and small works, which will someday flow into my big canvases and other works; works that I will actually display or exhibit (or may be not).
    My blog posts are more about my process and what motivates me to paint and create.
