- Well I had to be born some place,
and in my case it happened to be Germany -
- But what really made me the
person I am, is a chronic and rather incurable wanderlust, meeting new people, learning new ways of life and
cultural attachments.
- Having lived in - and visited
too many countries to mention, I am perfectly happy and would
welcome definition as: “Human, inhabitant of planet earth”
-
- In my opinion the people who
expose their true self's more then anyone are those working in the
“arts” - ...and writers, visual artists and those involved in music,
are the voices of the human soul.
- Art is an emotional expression of
a certain period in history and the legacies of artists are the story
tellers of the times they lived in.
- I am emotionally
passionate and I try
to convey the brilliance of a city with as much enthusiasm as a horse
race, or voice my feelings about indigenous peoples with the same depth as
a peaceful landscape.
- I never sketch my work, so I have
to transcend into the subject matter, and it is of no surprise to those
close to me, if I am ‘absent” while I linger in a world of my own and
reinforce the journey by reading related books or listening to
specific music.
- A
good example is a mural depicting fire. It was created in the middle of
winter. At the time my studio wasn’t heated and
when I started
working, I was dressed in a thick jumper. After a short while, I started
sweating and soon I was in a tank-top. My spiritual connection merged with
the subject and outside influences no longer affected me.
-
- I have been asked many times what inspired me to
create this unique technique, and the answer is quite simple: I love
leather, and I love to paint, and my art really is a merger of both,
although I never use color ...
- ... So my " Paints " are the dyed skins
available in the leather industry and
my “paint brushes” are scalpels, scissors and tweezers...
- I could probably go on and
speak of inspiration, technique and motivation, but introductions are
best kept short...
