It was a hot summer of hardcore watercolour - thank you, Tobias and Michael (and the class, the Summer Academy, Salzburg & all the rest)!

I hardly have the chance to get back to my studio, as I find myself travelling again: This time the trains will take me to my old hometown Berlin, where I will immerse myself into the Berlin Art Week (and do some field research).

In 1953, Oskar Kokoschka founded the Summer Academy at Salzburg, Austria. It only exists during the summer.

In 2019, I got admitted to the painting class led by Tobias Pils. I am so curious!

This performative sculpture, which is made for blowing curves, will be part of Element. Void @the icing room, London.

I’ve been back in Berlin - one of my old home towns - for the Gallery Weekend. After a short time of confusion, the city fitted me again like a refound glove. 

One night, I could not fall asleep because memories and new impressions
were dancing in my head. I wandered around in my friend’s house and took
pictures in the dark. They are the starting point for a series of big paintings, in which the old and the new Berlin are mingling in a phantasmagoric
manner.

It is the first time I am working like this - and it feels exciting!

It is a wave. Its rhythm is soothing and exciting at the same time.

Since a while, the paintings reentered my life which before was more inhabited by sculptural works.

The drawings opened them the door.

But at the end, 2D and 3D will get together again, I am quite sure.

At least, they might be in the mood for having a chat and a drink at a party every now and then.
