Die Kindheit ist das Land, das den Künstler nie verlässt. Die erste Liebe, die erste Leidenschaft, der erste Vertrauensbruch. Das begleitet sie das ganze Leben lang.

Alles, was danach kommt, ist für eine Künstlerin eine Art Beobachtung.

Das eigentliche Fundament dessen, womit er/sie sich befasst, das Fundament dessen, wofür sie sich interessiert, worauf sie zurückkommen und das sie wieder neu beleuchten und analysieren wird, sind frühe Erfahrungen aus der Kindheit.

ACRYLIC PAINTINGS

The acrylic paintings are painted with pure pigments. A synthetic resin binder, the acrylic dispersion, is added to a water-pigment mixture.

The amount of acrylic dispersion can control the surface of the painting, either a glossy or a matt acrylic painting.

Depending on the addition of water, the colour can be processed like an oil paint or like a watercolour.

The amount of pigment creates a smooth or pastel surface.

After drying, the acrylic paint is waterproof.

I particularly appreciate the surface structure of the acrylic paintings, which, due to the composition of the paint, can sometimes be smooth, sometimes shiny or shiny, sometimes matt.

I learned this kind of colour production with synthetic resin binder from the artist Elvira Bach  in a workshop.

I’ve been mixing all the colors for painting myself ever since.

Here you will find more detailed descriptions of the acrylic dispersions. I always use this binder.
