Preparing my final presentation in Kyoto.The works interact with the space now,creating their own language,independent from my own.
The4 weeks have been a special experience. It pushed me forward and fueled new concepts to explore.

Glimpses from the first few days. There is no real aim to achieve, just wandering along old an new paths. Fancy coffee shops make a good starting point for my excursions.

To me travelling by plane lacks the actual experience that comes with a change of place: you step into a metal box in Germany, sit, sleep, and when you step out again, you are in Tokyo. But anyway, I am happy to be back here #tokyolove #artistabroad

Impatient landscapes.
I wanted to bring my palette sheets to life on a big canvas. As always, the dynamic is totally different than on smaller sheets, but the feeling of impatience is still there.

Palette sheet.
I use a big sketchbook as a palette and to clean off brushes before i wash them out.
Somehow the pages all turn into landscapes over time.

Moving on from the studies on paper, I developed larger paintings in a reduced style, all on very rough canvas. These floral characters all just woke up and wonder what their day is going to be about.

Floral studies of chrysanthemums and dahlias. I adore how their flower heads look like they only just woke up, hair still untidy. Each of them acts like a distinct personality.

I am a visual person. Lately inspired by botanical elements. Working from natural studies into abstraction.
You have to start somewhere.
