Paintings
Actually, artworks can be organized into thematic series or grouped by painting styles or timelines.
Since a painting style serves as a vehicle for conveying meaning and content, it is in this case somehow more meaningful to cluster artistic works into thematic series rather than by style. That's a way to transport meaning to the audience.
But - Feel free to cluster my work in a meaningful way to yourself.
Series - Be-Longing
(GWN-Series 2/24)
Putting Human Relations onto a Canvas, with and without Words. Shapes and Artistic Style showing Glimpses of Human Longings, of Human Communication, Human Bonding, Communication with Others, Communication through Body Language, Reaching Out, Feelings, Loneliness, Freedom.
It's a private view on humans' personal fears and longings, of those seeking contact, of those being isolated, of those in long term relations, of souls speaking to other souls. With a language beyond words, with an artistic language beyond form and style. Capturing feelings in paintings, desires, fears.
A mixup of knowledge, from studying relationships between humans with the lens of my
profession as a scientist, conducting sociological and psychological research for 20 years, the ongoing confusion of an educational scientific background.
Put together with endless curiosity and love to human relations, to glimpses and moments in daily lives, in the eyes of the others, in the outer world that I can smell and feels and see, and the inner wolrd, I can relate to.
Be - to be, not to be, part of it all, to be part of the world, the longing , to belong, to be seen, to be heard, and to get some reaction. From others, from me, from you. That's the theme of this series.
We don't speak the same language - do we?

Series -Environmental Crush'down
(GWN-Series 3/24)
The kind of environment that is truely suitable for a human soul, a human soceity. It's a dream. It's love, so far away, it's rather a crush. Far away from the environment we live in, suitable for computer designs, for straight, narrow minded ideas of personal ownerships and consume. Far away from organic forms, from reduced waste of energy, from openness towards neighbours, stranges and towards child- and humanfriendly spaces.
And then, theres nature, consuming everything, overgrowing all human made construction. theres the weather, dominating the days in earth. There the endess power of nature. Fires, heatwaves, rain, tornados, sunshine.

Series - Internal Setup
(GWN-Series 1/24)
The constant need to re-evaluate, to evaluate what the heck we are, why, and how many, the need to make things better, to make oneself better, to makes onelef more perfect is, the feeling never to be there, maybe never good enough... Still there are these internal places to find peace, to calm down, to breath, to befriend yourself.
