My way to the fine
arts
Paintbrush and Colours
 During my childhood painting
and writing has always been part of a game. Since then I observe the flowing
of the coloured " water"... This has fascinated me for years.
Hours and hours I have been sitting there watching the colours dropping
down from my paintbrush onto the paper and how it trickled away...
When the paintingtime was over, I started to think about what I could
paint new - to watch that colourful and magic procedure again and again.
Later I had
the same phenomenon at school. The writing with a pen was a very pleasant
activity for me. When I watched the pen or pencils and crayons while forming
these colourful lines - or the colours while trickeling away - I felt
like if I had been carried away to the worlds of fairies and unicorns.
Exciting shivers ran down my spine when I was watching the teacher painting
wonderfully coloured perfect bows, loops and lines. That this had been
letters that we had to learn - was not of a very big interest for me.
The teacher had to admonish me often - because I was "dreaming"
too much. When I had to write these letters, I always held my head obliquely
- because I did not want to miss that exciting spectacle when the ink's
liquid vanished into the paper.
At these moments I also vanished into my own worlds - which seemed to
be invisible for the adults. There where many fabulous animals and beasts,
fairies and unicorns, there where mysterious paths within strange forests
and meadows...
Or there has been a "steppe" - and in my dreams I went there
and watched the antelopes and gazelles, while quenching their thirst.
And suddenly wild beasts where coming out of the jungles bush and hunted
those gracile animals - or suddenly all the animals where cought between
the devil and the deep blue sea...
Often I have watched the birds - how they where carried by the wind...
higher and higher...
Other times I have seen the kings of the winds, the waters, the king of
ice and rain. They have talked to me and told me their names.
In course of time this feelings changed and I started taking up and reflecting
the fears and the anxiousy of the people surrounding me.
It took a very long time for me - until I could remember to the light
and carefree time of my childhood. At this moment I also remembered the
wonderful mood that I have always had while "dreaming". And
so I started to dream again...
I started again to carry all my colours, paintbrushes, pens and papers
with me - whereever I went. Even when I went to pubs or parks. And I wrote
or painted down my thoughts and observations
Well - at the beginning, these works still had the taste of a charge to
the world - and sometimes they where not quite encouraging...
After some time I
realized, that I could only change something, when I changed myself. I
had to change from the passive victim - to an active designer of my own
life and world.
No sooner had I realized this, than all the paintings and poems became
more colourful... they became small and tiny lights that helped me through
the dark regions of my life...
Because of this I like to encourage you to reflect on the positive highlights
of your life... This remembrance can give you the power to overcome deep
canyons of your own life...
 Then came a time when I collected
mysterious words or invented them by myself. So I started to write mysterious
letters to everybody who liked to have one. Especially I liked to write
into albums of poetry. Sometimes I sat there for hours - to write down
wise words - that nobody had written down in that album before and that
could not be found in a book of verses.
The feelings that I lived yearned to be described. I thought about making
my delight with the elements visible for others. So I sat down and asked
myself: "how?"
But there was no idea - no imagination wanted to come in front of my eyes
- just like I had seen from the great Artists, who could paint such beautiful
landscapes and portraits.
But I really wanted to paint. And so I started to paint a picture - forming
squiggles and frills, adding lines and putting blots here and there...
And so the colourful dots climbed further and further and finally formed
a wonderful

An unexpectedly beautiful picture was painted
and the first step into my world of colours was done! It had not been
seldom that the idea - the theme of the picture had been formed while
painting. When the painting had been finished halfway, I realized, what
it meant to me.
After reaching
the intermediate secondary school certificate - my enthusiasm for colours
finally resulted in visiting the Technical School for Design and Graphics.
But soon I have realized, that I would loose my intuition. We where taught
to paint, what others would like and buy - and not that it would express
myself. So I left that school after one year - very much to the regret
of my parents...
During the time at the Technical School for Design and Graphics I had
visited many exhibitions. Mainly I had concerned on three styles of art
that had pleased me:
- Representational
graphit-studies
- Ornaments and black-and-white
or also higgledy-piggledy combination of colours
- Surrealistic representation
of landscapes
During my
visit of the designer-school and some time further I had concerned on
the following artists:
born 1908 in Pécs,
Hungaria
One of the most important artists of the Optical Art. He dedicated
his time to the "Optical illusions", graphical Patterns
and the "Illusion of Space" His works fascinated me first.
I have been captivated so much by his perfect simulation of rooms
by only arranging geometric patterns and an excinting play of colours,
that I started very early to paint pictures that where arranged
by tiny facetts and ornaments.

Cornelis Escher:
17 Juni 1898 Leeuwarden, Niederlande - March 1972
Also have also been fascinated by the mathematically calculated
forms and perspectives of Escher. He cast a spell on me by the very
realistic presentation of unreal worlds.

Born
1774 in Greifswald - 1840 Dresden
C.D. Friedrich counts to the most important German Romantics.
The great melancholy that lies within his paintings spoke right
to my heart. He had been a real "steppe-wolf" and I felt
a great peace while walking through his lonesome and calm landscapes.

Salvador
Felipe Jacinto Dali y Domenech
May 11th, 1904 in Figueras, Spain - January 23rd, 1989 in Figueras
Dali has been one of the most important artists of "Surrealistic
Painting". His veristic " Painting of dreams" was
inspired by the psychoanalysis. His art inspired me because of his
boundless phantasies, that have toughed me also spiritually. In
his paintings he connects the realistic world of things with a morbid
and pathological abstraction. He puts objects and figures into new
arrangements by changing the natural relation to each other. He
likes to allude to deep religious themes. And also his ambiguous
"Vex-paintings" have had a very fascinating effort on
me.

Christo and Jeanne Claude

Emmanuel
Radnitsky
27. August 1890 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 18. November 1976 Paris
Christo, Man Ray and many other Dadaists have inspired me by
encouraging to be different and individual. They had the idea to
attract the peoples attention to realize bad circumstances in the
society and environment by setting excessive accents to articles
of daily use and buildings. And also to call the peoples attention
to think about new perspectives and solutions.

friends
call him Pablo - he was born in Munich, Germany
He is one of the artists who uses his talents also for meditative
and esotheric inspiration. His paintings talk a wonderful speech
of silent poesie about calm spaces worlds and rooms which are filled
with spheric sounds and colours - or they call us to realize and
respect the world surrounding us and within ourselves.

World of travelling
- World of Colours
My curiosity about impossible possibilities - my big
search led me to a long trip abroad. So I came to Turkey, where I spent
some years (with small interruptions of some months). After this I travelled
more far-off with a rucksack and a tent on my back. I came to India in
1991, where I spent one year. The journey took its way over Sri Lanka.
And on the way back I had to travel overland through Pakistan and Iran,
through the desert and through the dangerous borderland in the mountains
of Turkey, where nobody likes to travel. This circumstance was caused
by the war of Hussein. The war had pushed up the flight-prices over night
- and because of my very small left budget I had to do the travel by bus
and hitchhiking...
My observations during my stay in Turkey, India and throughout my travellings
have changed my life totally...
When I had come back to Germany I felt the burning wish to pass on the
messages that had reached my heart through painting pictures and writing.
I felt a deep mysterious power while painting and writing...
This power has helped me when I had been sad and depressed - and it has
pleased me, when I had been cheerful and merry.
Somehow I knew, that a different world was triyng to get in contact to
me - by using this "Colourdance". Today I call it the
"World of the Angels".
The messages which where transmitted to me through the paintings and writings
got clearer and clearer. It was not only to enjoy the arrangement of colours
- but also to think deeper about the intercourse with relations, people,
animals - with the whole environment. I was taught to respect any living
being, my environment, the whole nature as well as to respekt my self!
