Mostly the individual elements of my pictures pop out of my imagination spontaneously during the working process. Often the themes develop playfully during the work.
The idea for a picture and its design emerge interdependently, i.e. during the working process new picture ideas can appear that are then later realised during the continued course of the work through the appropriate choice of colour and shape. The development of the picture takes place, so to speak, in a phased, gradual interplay between its design and its idea.
To create a Pointillistic artwork is a meditative process characterized through extreme slowness which is a great present in our fast-living time. To create such a painting is a big increase of the life feeling.
