People
People are fascinating creatures. Powerful and vulnerable. Open and closed. In contact or in themselves. Targeted or dwarrelend. Future-oriented and wistful. Dejected or hopeful. Character and background play a role in the ' being '. Just like the situation you are in. One thing is for sure. We are all different and we need each other.

Woman on the curb – acrylic, unframed

Mother and child
2009In this painting, I searched the contrast between hard/chilly and love. The love between mother and child as the most intense form of love (warm colours, round shapes). The background hard, and cold (cold colors, sharp, pointy shapes). However, the composition disharmonierde so much that I have adapted the background to the topic. Love overcomes the hard world. In luxe list with passe-partout (mat).
