My works are characterised by a unique fusion of realism and abstraction. Animal motifs depicted with astonishing accuracy are set against flowing, abstract backgrounds that lend each work a dreamlike quality.
This exotic bird lives in Africa and in Europe! In winter it migrates to Africa and in summer it returns to southern Europe. This marvellous bird has been back in the Kaiserstuhl (my home) for around 30 years. Its colours make it a perfect subject for painting. But it is also a special bird that is a pleasure to see.
