I am a painter who creates self-willed dream figures (men, animals, sculptures, rock formations, etc.). Strange and bewitched creatures come into existence, which defy description. Theese magical, surrealistic images have a suggestive effect on the spectator. My practice: I don´t know theese creatures, before I see them appearing on paper or canvas. I am often surprised about my own creations. By different techniques like frottage, decalcomany, imprimitation etc. structures come into existence, which I assemble into fantasy figures, without having an exact imagination of what is emerging. Little faces and forms, which I inserts finally in the coarse structures, increase the dreamlike surrealistic radiation of the pictures. You may not try to understand or conceive. It is quite a different world where you have to engage in as a spectator.

My works are made in series, meaning many pictures are in process simultaneously. The floor of my studio is full of pictures in process. The advantage to this procedure is that I can work continuously without waiting for the process to dry

The series Fantastic-Figuratif (image right side) I developed in the year 2001 in my studio. For this series I used the technique of decalcomania. This is a process of spreading thick paint upon a canvas then - while it is still wet - covering it with further material such as paper, aluminium foil or laminated fiber plates. This covering is then removed (again before the paint dries), and the resultant paint pattern becomes the basis of the finished painting. The technique was much employed by artists such as Max Ernst. For the series “Fantastic-Figurative” I used laminated fiber plates. Only once the ground of the laminated fiber plates is provided with a primer. Then on this primer oil color is plastered on paste-like, diluted with turpentine and pressed afterwards with the glass plate together (highly liquid color gets pressed with a smooth article - e.g. a glass plate - on the image carrier and partly one taken off).
