I love to paint oil colours because they are smooth and I can paint in several coatings. So there is a three-dimensional effect in my paintings.

I don’t do sketches on the canvas, I just begin to paint. I learned for myself that sketches block my creativity, so I just begin with the painting directly. 

I do wonderful paintings and drawings because I love my life with all ups and downs. I love colours to express the positive attitude to my live. I believe that there is all the time a door open when I believe it. There is no sence to see the negative things in live because all the people around me has also negative things in there live.

I love to paint animals, to bring there soul and character on the canvas or velvet, to give them live that when you pass the painting you are just thinking: „ups, this animal has it moved?“

Also the landscapes and cities-scapes have to live, I want really not to copy only photos but that the people can smell the woods or the salt water of the sea, hear the sound of the birds and the hoofs galopping over the floor. Then I reached my goal.

I reach my goal when the painting is more vivid than the photos, when the people stand there, look at and forget the time. So I like that the viewer will be reached from the atmosphere of the painting. My subjects are animals, landscapes and cityscapes. My goal is not only to make realistic paintings but to give them a soul and live. So when you pass the animals on my paintings it could be that you think they have moved.

they feel the sun on there skin, they hear the hoofs galopping over the floor or the listen to the birds, the wind or the sea.

A curator from Creative Concept Inc. describes in my paintings is an understated incandescence and that my style is both contemporary and classic all at once. It places me in an artistic realm that is somehow entirely familiar. When someone looks at my paintings there is a vision that resonates with the viewer long after viewing.

In 2006 I began to paint oil colour on velvet. I like to play with the structure from the velvet. There is a special effect on the painting with velvet.

The story of my artist-name is a short marriage with an egyptian-man who had this name. It sounds special so I kept this name as my artist-name.
