Spirit of Worpswede

"I was surprised when I found out in a conversation with American art friends in New York that they knew the artists' village Worpswede. The picture with the Heinrich Vogeler House stands for the radiance of the artists' colony that is still effective today.

In what I call "Sampling ART", existing graphic elements are brought into the context of a new picture. For example, an eye is duplicated and mirrored to form a pair of eyes.

In the beginning a limited number of geometric shapes and their deformations formed the resources for these pictures. The use of the complementary colors green and red create a connection and form a style with recognition value. Shimmering, flashing or even picture-dominant lines create a field of tension and give the picture expressiveness and liveliness. New pictures with more differentiated digital drawings extend the previous boundaries, but remain striking, without any significant depth of field."
