The actual meaning of photography is „painting or drawing with light“. This is exactly what interests me when taking pictures. The motif must have a painterly or graphic quality so that it appeals to me. Structure and rhythm are also important to me.

Der Begriff Fotografie bedeutet „mit Licht malen oder zeichnen“. Genau das interessiert mich beim Fotografieren. Das Motiv muss eine malerische oder zeichnerische Qualität haben, damit es mich anspricht. Ebenfalls wichtig sind mir Struktur und Rhythmus.

Over time, I developed some methods to activate my subconscious and find pictures. Role models were painters such as Francisco de Goya, Caspar-David Friedrich, Max Ernst und Francis Bacon.
The paintings often refer to crises and individual fears of today.

These, I, singing in spring,
collect for you,
for who but I should understand
you
and all your sorrow
and joy to come

Beyond first limits I pass, far, far
in the forest, before I know
where to go solitary
smelling the earthy smell
stopping now and then
collecting, dispensing, singing
spring , there I wander pulling plucking

tossing toward whoever is near
Here, in Missouri
as it happens to be
with me

Finally there across
some pinks and laurel leaves
a sea, a sea of thriving
cotton …
o there, I see you
despite all venture maturing

and tenderly loving
mother nature
