My paintings are a contrast to my time spending music. Obviously, during producing music I´m constantly surrounded by noise. Typically I enjoy that noise. However it´s still noise.

So from time to time it´s essential for me to deep dive into real silence. However, accordingly I was questioning myself: What to do during that silence?

So this is it. My paintings are the result of my deep dive silence sessions. I require these sessions to recharge my energy. The time period in which each painting is created is between two and three hours. Each painting has been finished at one glance. This means during these two or three hours I do not drink , I do not eat, I do not listen to any music – I simply do not move away from my table. I focus on my painting until it´s done. Once it´s finished, that´s the signal for me that I have successfully deep dived into real silence. Observing this point comes with a very satisfying mood. It´s the sign for me that now I can recommence producing music.
