The Sacrifice
Although the conflicts in the world have tapered off, all threats at the end of the cold war are still hovering over the superpowers between USA and Russia. The soldier underwater and diseased who offered his life by symbolically keeping missiles and weapons intact. With the lighted fuse toward a burning bomb, the consequence (already demonstrated in […]

Transition
In the past, the image of a sower in the fields expressed the change (transition) from a seed to a fruit in one way or another. This painting shows a sower in his movement, spreading the seed, in the present, moving towards the timeless future, in which we don’t know what he will reap. Oil […]

Spirit in the Desert
Since the first century before Christ and afterwards, the desert with its rock caves was a retreat for people who pondered over the mystery of life; who studied religious scriptures, recorded what was not in the interest to historians and came to rebellious conclusions. Overall, the void of the desert, without worldly distraction, stimulated by […]
St. Florent
The sky makes this otherwise typical village in France so special. Oil on canvas board / 40.6 x 50.8 cm / 1985 / at B.C.
W. A. Mozart / Copy
Loving Mozart’s music, the unfinished portrait by the painter Lange appealed to me. There is in my mind a very natural, reflective moment in Mozart’s personality that I attempted to copy. One can assume, while posing, he was filling the time by composing. Oil on canvas board / 50.8 x 40.6 cm / 1988
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.

Gesäuse, Aut.
After laying off painting for ten years and producing over that time rather abstract work, this is my second painting in which I begin a representational phase. With no intention ever to exhibit (because in the avant-garde world it would be retro), I was free to paint as I liked. For that, I chose the valley near […]
Forms Contrasted
Aside from the diversity of all the patterns displayed, note that a line begins at the upper left that has no dead-end but coincides to create fields with many different shapes and sizes. Those patterns have again various shades and graphic designs, in contrast to its surrounding. This type of spontaneous creativity and method I […]
