Original artwork description:

To expel the demons of darkness is a motif often found during carnival in the alpine regions. In southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland, often bonfires are lit and inhabitants of a village gather around it, enacting ancient traditions. Sometimes a puppet is created from rags and dry wood, which then is lit and glows like a huge torch. With smaller torches, the attendants walk down home after the event. This abstract painting with its dark color and surface reminds of this tradition - seeing both the darkness and the glow, the demons and the brightness of fire it

The artwork is painted on canvas, stretched on a wooden frame. It can be hung without framing and will be shipped carefully protected within a cardboard box.

I work with high quality artistic materials - usually acrylic colours, ink and sometimes oil, applying them in many layers. In addition, sometimes I add experimental materials like wood stain, ashes, sand or other finds of nature. My work is inspired by colours and forms evolving form the process of layering – adding and combining colours on wet and dry substrate. The process is emergent – free flow and deterministic aspects are brought together in a creative manner. I kindly invite the viewer to regard the artwork on the one hand as an entire unit, in its composition and overall expression, but on the other hand also to watch out for all the tiny details and fascinating aspects involving the eye of the beholder again and again!
The painting is signed on the backside. A signed Certificate of Authenticity will be included with the artwork.
