In May 2020, during my first studio visit shortly after the end of the first corona-related lockdown, I started the first work in the “Let it rain!”-series. I continue this series of works to this day. In these works, most of which are classified as paintings, I am concerned with purification, emotions, being in the moment, environmental themes and also the laws of nature.
These paintings were created intuitively in a meditative way. For me, painting these works was and is a form of healing and a way to find myself emotionally. It gives me calm and inner peace. These works are also intended to convey calm and peace to the person looking at them. Looking at these works can lead to emotional tidiness.
It was only later that I tried to place these works in an art historical context and came across Pat Steir. This made me think about the fact that we humans are subject to universal laws and, as is taught in various religions and faiths, we are all one in the end. We all come from the same source and return to it. It seems as if we are intuitively guided by an inner guidance that, among other things, leads us to create similar images.
