How I paint
From intuitive chaos to sovereign presence
My painting practice is grounded in process.
Composition emerges through a continuous dialogue between appearance and conscious construction. The painting reaches completion when forms settle into balance and the evidence of a presence becomes visible.
Each canvas unfolds in three moments: intuitive chaos,
turning point,
sovereign presence.
Ich paint as I think, feel and act.
I paint as I am.
1. Intuitive chaos
I begin by letting my intuitive choices guide my gestures. A color asserts itself, reflecting pure energy. On the canvas, a choreography awakens within the thickness of the flat tints, where the tones layer upon one another and the splash breaks the silence. I even often rinse the canvas off to keep some essential traces. The act of painting proceeds until the background holds the canvas. The material becomes a living ground for the essence that seeks to appear.
2. Turning Point
The initial tumult becomes readable. Forms emerge, suggested by material and color. At this moment, the canvas becomes a passage: chaos gives way to emerging order and intuition meets consciousness. Choice becomes attentive, here and now. When the essential turns into the existential, the canvas takes shape and culminate in an encounter.
3. Sovereign Presence
The forms assert themselves, taking their place and verticality within the background. They become sovereign, in perfect harmony with the canvas. The painting becomes fully existent: a space where the observer feels the stillness of life and perceives a presence.
From turbulence to presence,
from essence to existence,
each canvas becomes a space
where the gaze can wander
and the observer can encounter his own presence.
