hi! i´m an artist working out of my studio in berlin. this blog gives an insight into my work and process. learn more about me.
since i started a new job, i don’t have as much time to paint as i’d like. but i got to spend the last two days in my studio
also i’m glad the “ugly phase” is finally over! now it’s all about refining the forms and making the shapes more defined. feeling much better about this painting now.
i started a new painting, this is the state two days into it and at the moment i think it is in its „ugly stage“ so i am trying not to worry too much about it.
i really enjoy working on a large canvas. i built it myself and didn’t prime it because i like how you see the texture of the fabric. maybe next time i’ll try a slightly heavier material. i am also quite happy with the colour palette i and with the sketch, but I hope I will find the time soon to continue so we can get over this stage and into more details.
i made some small canvases out of scraps and painted them with vibrant clouds. i used acyl and some new acyl markers. it was super quick and really fun to paint them in a more cartoonish and over-dramatic way.
back at painting, although my studio is so cold! I love how dark and gloomy these vegetation pieces turned out! I also enjoyed painting on raw canvas again, definitely sticking with that!
I think this piece will not be part of my body series, but will stand on its own. I used a super lightweight raw cotton fabric and dyed it before stretching it on a stretcher bar.
painting was quite straightforward this time, but as i often do, once i had laid out my composition, i rotated the canvas before going in.
at the beginning of november, we had an open studio weekend. It was so nice to showcase some of my paintings in the gallery.
finally done! took a little summer break from painting, but i’ve finally finished these lonely lemons. don’t they look juicy and somewhat perishable? this is the fourth painting in my series: „my body becomes your body“.
although it took me a while to complete this painting, the process felt smoother compared to my last one. the composition was clear from the start and remained largely unchanged.
so i am starting a bigger canvas and will continue with my series „my body becomes your body“.
this is the work in progress so far.
soft bodys nearly hugging. peel breaks open. i enjoyed painting these physalis so much. i think this is becoming a series, a series of bodies trying to get closer to each other.
