Die rote Phase/The Red Period
The Red Period is a series of paintings, watercolors and objects, created from 2015 to 2021, exploring the theme 'The Burning Soul'. The vibrant colours and textured surfaces of the paintings express this burning.
Red is the colour of pain, flaming and burning. Blue is the colour of sadness, flowing yet imprisoned.Yellow is the colour of hope, clearing and nebulous.
Lost property and various materials are a metaphor for the traces left by a burning soul: open wounds, rosy flesh, purulent crusts, scarred tissue.
Some canvases are painted on both sides and should be perceived as sculptural works. Both sides must be considered as one entity, reflecting that what is visible on the surface may not always reveal what lies beneath.

sculptural Paintings
The color Red, brighting and whirling, expresses feelings and sensations, while the relief-like crater landscapes show the hidden wounds. The acrylic sculptural paintings are not just a projection surface. It is more like the skin to the body: it holds the outside together and protects the inside. But this “skin” has wounds and scars. Found objects and packaging waste bite their way through the initially smooth surface in bulging and relentless ways. They lead to these scars and wounds and to what is hidden and what has to be hidden inside as it is ugly and difficult to endure.
