Meine Mutter

Als sie geboren wurde, war der zweite Weltkrieg schon vier Wochen alt.
Ihren Eltern war sie eher eine Belastung und als die zweite ihrer drei Schwestern geboren war, wurde sie zu ihrer Oma gegeben. Dort wuchs sie auf und die Umstände ihrer Kindheit haben sie ein Leben lang nicht losgelassen.

Exploratory Painting

I am always experimenting with different natural materials, such as lime, marble powder, fine sand, ash, to create depth and structure.

Yellow

In the middle of the winter, when it became really cold, grey and windy, when the sun did not shine for a few days, I was longing for the blue sky and bright light. I thought of using yellow, the colour of the sun, to create a painting which could brighten up this time of the year.
For this painting, I used five shades of yellow pigments, mixed with titan white to apply it in layers for creating a warm, sunny tableau. Lime and marble powder were used for some surface structure and to let the pigments react with it.
