Das Portrait – Tradition und Handschrift in der Auftragsmalerei
Portraiture – Tradition and Signature in Commissioned Painting
Portraitmalerei aus Meisterhand
Meine Handschrift ist das Ergebnis eines langen künstlerischen Weges, der weit vor dem Studium an der Kunsthochschule begann. Die hier gezeigten Arbeiten sind eine Auswahl aus meinen Portraits der letzten Jahre. Wie ein Portrait aus meiner Hand entsteht, erfahren Sie in diesem Blogartikel.
Unique portraits, created with mastery
My way of painting is the result of a long artistic journey, that began long before my formal study. The works presented here are only a small selection. A complete overview would exceed the scope of this page. How a portrait emerges under my brush is outlined in this blog article (German).
Fresko und Secco in der Portraitmalerei
Portraits created in fresco or secco
Portrait painting possesses a value that lies beyond the ephemeral. Portraiture in fresco or secco belongs to the most demanding disciplines of painting. Applied directly onto fresh lime plaster, the fresco becomes inseparably fused with the architecture. This technique, which has shaped architectural spaces since antiquity – from the villas of Pompeii to Michelangelo’s – is a rarity in contemporary art.
Each fresco is a unique, site-specific work. Through secco painting, I bring this aesthetic either onto carefully prepared panels OR directly onto the wall. For both techniques I use lime-resistant pigments – some of them historic, from Kremer’s pigment mill. For secco works on panels, I use the finest Carrara marble sand, which imparts the distinctive character of genuine fresco painting.
