About Me

My photo
Leipzig / Germany and Winterthur / Switzerland
We all carry information. Ordering and translating such into my world of pictures is the subject of my work. I often start with photo sketches which I transfer using different methods. This not only strengthens reality, it also puts it into perspective, expressing my current state of understanding. It invites the viewer to search for the core of the matter.

I am back to my current project for which I will draw a serie of pictures in indian ink. The above shows one subject for which I meanwhile did three different variations (all 38 x 57 cm)

mezzotint

Mezzotint is an edging technique that works from dark to light, by "polishing" areas of the black plate to get tones

a simple landscape to study the effect of colors
