The artwork itself is a connection of the momentary inner mood and the mastery of the craft, some things I have in my head, many things arise during the work. I go on a search and follow my intuition, starting with a series of random drawings, roughly outlined areas of colour, which are revised, changed, corrected, rejected or accepted in the course of the work. The central importance lies in the composition, the colour combination and the application of lines as markers or connecting elements. Through the energetic overlapping of colours and techniques, I give chance a large space in each painting. The artworks and theoretical concepts of Emil Schumacher (1912-1999) and Joan Mitchell (1925 - 1992) have a direct influence on my work. Emil Schumacher has unwaveringly followed his path of the abstract Expressionism through all art styles and Joan Mitchell has pioneered abstract art as a woman.
