Bildbeschreibung:
Das Werk „FEELING BLUE“ ist eines der Werke, die sich mit den Themen „Erinnern und Vergessen“ auseinandersetzen. Die Figur basiert auf einer Vorlage aus einem alten Fotoalbum, wurde jedoch aus dem ursprünglichen Kontext des Fotos herausgelöst und anonymisiert. Durch das fehlende Gesicht wird dem Betrachter die Möglichkeit geboten, eigene Erinnerungen in das Werk einzubringen und Assoziationen zu selbst erlebten Momenten und bekannten Personen zu wecken.Â
Der Titel des Werkes nimmt Bezug auf den leuchtend blauen Hintergrund und wirft die Frage nach den Gefühlen der abgebildeten Figur sowie den eigenen Empfindungen auf.

Image description:
The artwork "FEELING BLUE“ is one of the pieces that explore the themes of "remembering and forgetting." The figure is based on a template from an old photo album but has been removed from the original context of the photo and anonymized. The missing face allows the viewer to project their own memories onto the work, evoking associations with personally experienced moments and familiar people.
The title of the work refers to the vibrant blue background and raises questions about the feelings of the depicted figure as well as one's own emotions.

My aim has always been to portray people as individuals. For many years, I painted portraits, believing that people’s faces best reflect their identities. When, whilst studying art at the University of Wuppertal, I came into contact with dementia within my personal circle and attempted to depict the process of forgetting, I reached my limits. A person’s outward appearance could not reflect their inner processes. In search of a solution to my problem, I gradually moved away from depicting faces, until I eventually omitted them entirely. Since then, my works have played with the identities and realities of the people depicted. Through a blend of figurative, realistic and abstract elements, I allow the viewer to look behind the façade of faces, into the feelings and thoughts of the figures portrayed.
My in-depth exploration of this subject matter – including in my Bachelor’s thesis in painting – continues to shape my painting style to this day and inspires me to constantly reinterpret a wide variety of themes relating to the human condition. I prefer to work in series, in which I explore individual themes in depth and interpret them in various ways.
