The art of painting pictures

Painting constitutes the second focal point of my artistic activity. When choosing the respective subjects, nature is my source of inspiration in most cases. Alongside detailed pictures of plants or animals, I also create abstract paintings, which, in their colours and shapes, have been inspired by nature.

Another field of activity is the realistic reproduction of technical objects such as vehicles and machines. Here, I combine the fotorealistic reproduction of these motives with abstract backgrounds.

Depending on the subject, I paint the pictures in oil, watercolour or acrylic techniques. My experience resulting from my work with porcelain, where ornamental techniques are applied on many occasions, is often integrated here by using gold leaf ornaments and three-dimensional elements.

Here are some examples of my work (please click on the pictures if you want to view them in enlarged format):
