Caretos in the Wall

"FINE-ROOMS" studio developed the decoration concept for this Hotel in Hamburg.
My paintings are already hanging on the wall and I like it!

I love the cosy and elegant atmosphere, the warmth of the wood and colors they chose and the vintage air.

Caretos in progress...

Here some pics of my work in progress, last July.

And here a brief text about this serie "Caretos". It is in german, may be you understand? 

Thanks to the diligent, dear Gregor, who wrote those lines about my work:

"Die Caretos entstanden aus dem beiläufigen Zeichnen und dem Anmischen von Farben währen des Telefonierens. Irgendwann verdichteten sich die Skizzen zu Bildern und es entstanden wilde Schauspiele menschlicher Gemütszustände mit einem Hang ins Absurde und Skurrile, irgendwo unter Wasser oder im Scheinwerferlicht einer Bühne. Die zappelnden und gedrängten Menschen küssen, streiten, grinsen, staunen, starren, lachen oder bangen. So entstanden aufblitzende Momenteindrücke entgleitender Mienen, ein buntes Treiben menschlicher Grimassen – auf spanisch: Caretos."

Visages d'outremer

or Faces from the other seaside, or something like that...
From the Series "Caretos".

This is one of the paintings that I made last July for an hotel in Hamburg....and soon more! 

Yes, I'm back!
