Original artwork description:

Recently I have been overpainting older works and tried out new ways of expressing emotions and feelings. Here I started to play around with colors, enjoying the texture of it, the work with the palette knife and was completely absorbed in what it felt like.

"Silver Dreams" can be seen as just a nightscape with a full moon, sparkling silver light around or you can see waves coming in under a completely calm night sky, but the painting can also be understood as emotions and feelings breaking in, things can happen in our so far quiet life and break in... life means constant change, we have to deal with it, it can be stormy, it can be wild, it can drown us, but it can also contain great beauty. In this painting the emphasis lies on the light - where there is light, there is hope! You can see the metal pigments sparkle when hit by light. See different photos, I tried one photo with flashlight, it shows the metal spaces. Let yourself be surprised about how this painting can change its colors.... just like real landscapes!
