Galactic Village, 1978, Original Oil Painting on Canvas 160 x 130 cm
Majestic Cosmos Captured through the Intimate Lens of Human Experience
"Galactic Village" emerges from my deep-seated curiosity about the cosmos, exploring the concept of civilizations that span across the tapestry of space. I depicted what I perceive as a cosmic settlement, a cluster of starry habitations scattered along a luminescent astral plane. The dark expanse of the universe stretches infinitely, yet within it, the vibrant trail of the village suggests life, energy, and connectivity.
The swathes of blue in varying shades are reminiscent of the oceanic depths, a familiar terrestrial analogy for the unknown depths of space. The bursts of light and color along the horizon conjure images of homes and hearths, a universal symbol of community and warmth. This is my vision of the universe as a place not just of vast emptiness, but of intimate gatherings and cosmic kinship.
"Galactic Village" embodies the duality of my artistic practice: the grandiose scale of the cosmos captured through the intimate lens of human experience. Crafting this piece was an act of meditation, where each stroke brought me closer to understanding my place in the cosmos. It was an endeavor to reach out across the void, to touch the lives of unseen neighbors in our shared galactic home.

The palette of blues, deep and infinite, reflects the endless mysteries of space, where time bends and twists into eternity. The star's luminescence is a symbol of constancy and hope, a guiding light in the profound darkness that swaths the universe.
My brushstrokes, varied in texture and hue, are an homage to the dynamic yet harmonious chaos that governs the heavens. They mirror the awe-inspiring creativity of the cosmos, inviting you into a meditative state, urging you to ponder the grandeur that lies beyond our earthly realm.
"Wandering Star" is a visual confession of my deepest curiosities, a piece where I have poured my wonderment for the cosmos and my belief in the light that persists amidst the darkness, guiding us all on our individual, wandering paths.

Mystic Light, 1983, Original Oil Painting on Canvas 240 x 200 cm
"Mystic Light" is an enigmatic oil painting that stretches across a canvas of impressive dimensions. Its swirling celestial patterns mimic the great spiral galaxies of the cosmos, drawing the viewer into a contemplation of the infinite. Deep hues of blue and violet lay the foundation of the void, out of which emerge fiery ribbons of red and crimson, signifying the dynamic, ever-changing universe.
The deeper one gazes into the concentric circles that form the painting's structure, the closer one seems to approach the light at its nucleus—a metaphor, perhaps, for the pursuit of enlightenment. This piece evokes the profound mystery of the cosmos, the sublime beauty of the night sky, and humanity's ceaseless quest to understand the unknowable depths of both outer space and our inner selves. The painting's large scale ensures that it commands the space it occupies, just as its subject commands our imagination.
1983: Life in Kreuzberg, a commune of six artists
In 1983, residing in Kreuzberg within a commune of six artists, life was a blend of creativity and survival. Amidst the scarcity of resources, I juggled odd jobs to sustain my passion for painting. My canvases became the canvases of life itself.
The process was meticulous and sacred. I made massive wooden frames, put the canvases on, layering them with glue and white primer. This preparation, a ritual of dedication, set the stage for my most ambitious project yet - a series of massive blue paintings, where the dream's blues merged with the hues of my palette, birthing these ethereal works.
