Stories of places and feelings

 

I’m always trying to capture the mood of a place, the feeling that this particular view evokes in me. Sometimes a place has a particularly strong presence that I’m trying to mix into my painting. Other places are rich in personal memories but all of them have one thing in common, they possess a natural beauty that goes beyond what a Photo can show. That’s why I’m painting.

This collection of stories should help you read the painting and see the individual aspects of it with the artists eyes. Sometimes it is deadly for a painting to overanalyze it, but I will try my best to highlight only the key aspects and leave the rest of the interpretation to the observer who will probably see much more then I can put into words.

Hoamat

When I grew up this we the place I considered my kingdom, a sleepy field and a silent forest separated by a brook. When I came home from school nothing could stop me from throwing off all the pressure of the day by throwing my schoolbag into the corner and running with my pocket knife and a small spool of yarn up and away. The slightly purplish sky is representing a children’s memories.

Vienna Danube

I still remember very well when I first arrived in this beautiful city. Actually it was a very dirt and cold city that I arrived in.

BOKU University became my new home, the show gardens and dark corridors my living room. One morning after a long night of studying I witnessed the early morning sun break though the thick layer of low hanging clouds and I realized, that Vienna is not a beautiful city for it’s building but for the peoples hearts. The high contract in the sky is showing the drastic change of brightness that the eye is still trying to adopt to,

Broadway

It felt like being in the heart of this planet pulsing through it’s very veins when I first arrived in New York. Sleeping at a grey out station being cheated by the first person I asked for directions and helped by the second person I realized that this place was playing on a different level. Walking down broadway became my unprecedented pleasures whenever I had time to spare. The warm tones used for the architecture in the background indicates that I had wonderful people around me that made this place memorable.

Bianci, Spain

the sun burns down mercilessly on the barren landscape In the province of Catalunya, north east Spain where the hills are forming small natural bastion a little village of not more then 20 houses is holed up over the barren landscape. Brianco has survived the rush of time in indifferent melancholy. The sun burns down mercilessly on the barren landscape, the first harvest was brought in and the fields are laying now burned and tired indicated my the warm mother color of the forground.
