Whispering roots series

365 days series (2015 – 2025)
365 paintings (30 x 100 cm each, acrylic on canvas). To create an homage to every day, remembering an instant, a poem, an emotion of this day.
Painting as a tribute to the landscapes surrounding me. Mountains and lakes, trees and plants, clouds and dust. With their ever-changing light.
Moments and fragments captured in my notebooks, reborn as colorful improvisations on canvas. As inner images, nourished by memory, poetry and art history.
In a further step in the work process I recompose the 365 days paintings within triptychs and polyptychs, exploring harmonies, dissonances, rhythms and contrasts. Moving between figuration and abstraction, presence and absence. Spaces in-between, out of focus, suggest inner spaces beyond the picture frame.

Recent works Exhibition „Whispering roots“ 潜根细语 

„He longed to be the wind.. to be your shadow… to be a bird..“ (Rabindranath Tagore, poem „The banyan“)

My art works are since years in several ways connected to poetry, music, dance, with silence and with the rhythm of the seasons. I found them all again, encounters under the banyan tree. Guests and hosts, playing old music instruments, dancing, reading, talking, sitting, waiting. Listening at the birds. Visible and invisible hosts.

From a unique thread, light and fragile, moving in the wind, to the interwoven roots building a new tree.  Vertical rhythms between me and the sea, the mountain, the sky, the city, the world. As a veil and curtain, dense or transparent, opening new spaces.
