Welcome to the opening of the exhibition on Thursday, 6 November at 5–6.30!

 

I swim in the sea and lakes as often as possible through the year. Water, in addition to painting, best represents a state of complete freedom for me. Perhaps that is why it appears in my works time and time again. At its best, the painting process reveals the unknown and transforms the personal into a shared experience.

In the shelter of the forests, veiled by mist, wild waters are waiting.
