Las Palmas
€ 6.000,00
With ‘ Las Palmas’ we portray the thin line between paradise and nightmare. The work fits into a tradition in which landscapes are not merely idyllic, but are also charged with psychological tension and symbolism. The horizontal composition and the distorted elements – palm tree, bird, waterfall, figure – are cast in expressive colours, evoking associations with surrealism and expressionist painting. The molten forms are reminiscent of the alienation of Dalí, for example, while the bright colour contrasts add a contemporary, restless energy. The painting reflects on the illusion of relaxation within a society that accelerates and represses. Las Palmas thus stands as a contemporary indictment of the pressure of consumption and holiday dreams that turn into horror scenarios.

The added value of painting and drawing lies in the ability to create totally new images. Loose fragments of personal ideas and images form the starting points for these visualizations, after they have been mentally deconstructed. Thus, a subject can be looked at under the skin to learn even more about its internal logic. For the creation process of my paintings, I prefer oil paint. This type of paint allows you to work slowly and apply delicate gradients. Drawings are usually a combination of different paint and graphite materials. As a painter, I spend a lot of energy grading and working out my themes. Creating artistic singularities in an increasingly standardized world makes liberating revelations possible. Each work of art is provided with an authentic signed studio stamp with the artist’s signature.
