about me
It is said by a wise person: The more I know, the more I do learn how little I do know.
I do agree with that person.
I have walked along on my own paths, all the time since I have drawn my first lines with graphit on a sheet of withe paper. I learned and still do so by looking at other peoples work of art. Now I have collected some knowledge during the years and failures. Obviously it became clear to me, that knowledge is an important part of creativity. Like a good craftsman needs to know his tools and materials, an artist has to know his tools and materials, as well, if he likes to share his visions with other people.
As I said before, I walked alone along in my world of art. Doing this i made my selv free from the thoughts of others how art has to be. Neither professors or any leaders for artclasses, critics or wise heads had any influence on my ideas ore visions. I am not tied to any direction, stile or demands from any one. My artwork never gave me the butter on my daily slice of bread. I worked as a craftsman for my daily needs and for my beer on a sunny afternoon. But working with my kind of art has given me recreation from of everydays duties. Sometimes art helped me keeping distance from saying words that better not should be spoken. Sometimes I found mental help when problems seemed to overtake too much of my mind.
Still i find great pleasure working with my kind of art. Inspiration and motivation never are far away. An impuls for the eyes can be the beginning of a chain of reactions in my brain and create visions in my mind, often so clearly, that it is easy making this picture of my mind visible for everyone.
I do not care what people think about my work. At that moment, when i make art visible to anyone, my opinion does not matter any more. Each person has the right to feel or think whatever it could be. That is freedom of art. As time passes by, each work of art sooner or later will be¨talking ¨to someone and pleases this person. Then an artist had achieved, what art is all about. Allow your feelings come to life.
