First and Minority

As in sculpture, painting is about the confrontation between material, tools, means of expression and the artistic idea.
This work is part of the "Königskinder" cycle and deals with the current global growth of autocracies.
In painting, my starting material is the blank canvas in different sizes. But here, too, I try to give expression to the human form. My tools are brushes, paint rollers and the like. My means of expression are water, acrylic paints, bitumen, coal and more. Spatiality and volume are created through the interaction of surface and line.
