• Musical and other landscapes

  (1988 - 2011)

  A Landscape's definition is extensible; It can show recognisable reality, topografically, but also the opposite, in other words, interpreted completely abstract.My work contains all of it. Most musical of course, are abstract works inspired by music, the socalled 'Musical Landscapes'.

• Composers in musical landscapes

  (2002 - 2006)

  Inspired by one of his compositions and his personal image , I tried to perform a compser in a characteristic way. For instance, Debussy as an example of an impresssionistic composer, by means of his pentatonics, and Stravinsky, expressionistic, using irregular times and chordclusters like percussion.See also informationpage.

• Mahler, paintings after his music

  (1986 - 2006)

  Around 1985 I took up fascination for Gustav Mahler. At first by his remarkable looks and after that his first symfony. And yet, step by step by his entire oevre and biography. His music created the very beginning of an increasing interest : The relation between music and visual art.

  Group of artworks in wich the performing persons ar wearing spectacles.Also the portrayed persons were and are very inspiring to me.Often the invironment has something to do with his life or/and his work.Finally, the title of this group was chosen for its plural meaning.

  In commission I create, if necessary after an idee of the commisioner , sepulchral monuments finished in aluminimumcement and decorated with acrylic paint.

  

• Musical comic

  (2006 - 2008)

  This is a comic inspired by a song. Wellmade lyrics of a song present images and score ready to hand. Strangely enough, at least at the present, comic-artists hardly take advantage of that. To the present comicscene, particularly the classical and romantic repertoir seems to be a bridge too far.
