Blooming Winter Dreams

The colors of a
cold morning
The first light opens
the flowers in my
winter dream

Winter morning, the colors of a new day. I stroll along the path between sleeping and waking, I don't want to let go of my dream yet. A cold breeze through my hair, the sunlight touches my face, trees with fragrant winter flowers…

Blooming Winter Dreams

‘Blooming Winter Dreams’ is an artwork in my collection 'The Narrow Path'.

With this artwork, the US painter Karina Mosser and I present to you a new dimension in the series of Karina painting on a print of one of my photographs: textured painting that gives the artwork a magical 3D feeling !

The original (16x12") is still available, and, of course, Limited Edition or Open Edition prints in any size you prefer. Send me a message if you are interested.

Earth Cries

High waves of toxic

water drown the land

Dead eyes,

the earth cries

The sun colors the morning

in the hues of dead trees

on the banks of greed

How high may become

the price the future

will have to pay?

Earth Overshoot Day 2023

As of today, humanity lives by stealing from future generations.

And have no illusions: the middle- and highly prosperous countries have been living for weeks to months by stealing from poor countries.

We live on credit, and there is no way to pay it back: the earth is unable to regenerate what we consume the rest of the year.

And just so you realize: this has been true for decades. So the debt of you and me is huge, beyond all comprehension.

Conscience

But we silence our conscience by pretending that we start with a fresh earth every year on January 1.

I will help you out of the dream, or rather, make you realize that we are in a nightmare: the earth has not been clean and fresh for many years, and on many "issues" the damage is beyond recovery. 

Disasters follow each other faster and faster. Is payback time knocking on our door?

Think about this, when you place your next order on the Internet for non-essential goods, when you throw away something that can actually be used for years to come, when you replace something because it is no longer fashionable, when you eat more than is good for you, when you use and eat things that burden and pollute the earth in an unaccountable way....

Tell me, who will pay your debt to the earth?

Earth Cries High waves of toxic water drown the land Dead eyes, the earth cries
Earth Cries

All You Need Is Less

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke, on what we lose when we continue on the destructive path of ever more…

Echo Of My Thoughts

In the morning of my dream
Only shadows will remain
Echoing the light of my thoughts

'Echo Of My Thoughts' is a new surrealistic impressionistic digital artwork in my collection 'The Narrow Path'.

This is a digital artwork, printed with high-quality ink on museum-quality cotton paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag® 308gsm). The work comes in a limited edition of 10, signed and with a certificate of authenticity.

For these artworks, I start with one or more photographs made by myself.

I do that until a surrealistic atmosphere is created that touches me and tells the story I want to tell.

The photograph(s) I begin with has/have an impressionistic, surrealistic or abstract realist style, which is the basis for all my work.

Awakening (2)

It is early in the morning, the beautiful medieval village of Corenno Plinio on Lake Como awakens. Narrow streets, old worn stairs. The streets are deserted, except for a single elderly resident climbing slowly up the steep steps early on. Here you will find many buildings with original details and no bars, restaurants or other tourist attractions. A gem!

'Awakening (2)' is an artwork in my collection 'Lost Cities', a digital transformation of my artwork Awakening.

Kissing The Clouds

Morning glow
The sun kisses the clouds
Blinded by the eye

A beautiful autumn morning. The sun appears on the horizon, its warm light kisses the clouds above the fields in Kobberø, Thy region, North Jutland, Denmark.
