Composition Textured
Whatever explanation a viewer about this painting may be seeking, I would have to refer to clarifications in works as “Impromptu” and “Forms contrasted”. The latter is a graphite drawing with different designs in the many patterns as applied also in “Composition Textured”, except here enhanced and diversified through colours. Oil on canvas / 83.8 […]
Evil Exposed
Little devils, mischievous, light fires at all corners of the earth. Images that amuse when seen from the outside, appearing as comic strips, but felt within, the blazes burn like senseless hell. Eyes go astray and what we call soul becomes tormented by evaporating brains from glows of torturous tools while charity plunges into the […]

Middle east Metamorphosis
In my painting, the middle part is showing an Egyptian Pyramid, intact millennia ago, under blue sky. To either side we see the presence, and over time the decay, of Greek and Roman structures. The dark, smoky clouded sky conveys the ongoing conflicts to this day in the Middle East. Oil on canvas / 55.8 […]
Bouquet of Roses
After not painting for seven years I took up again a representational style. Oil on Cardboard / 60.9 x 40.6 cm / 1978 / this work went to Sophie Jucker / Swiss
Beast in Landscape
Since the colour green reminds us of all its different shades in nature, painters have almost found it NOT employable in semi-abstract expressions. It seems to lack depth and has symbolically little to say. Unlike the primary colours. They have many meanings. For example, Blue can be mysterious, expresses the infinite, and symbolizes Heaven. Yellow […]

Composition / Hard Edge
This Hard Edge painting consists of various shapes and colours that are in contrast to each other, as I hope in a creative manner. Acrylic on canvas / 121.9 x 60.9 cm / 1968
