Sculptural Textile Art
Zwischen Material, Form und Stillness. Präzise. Reduziert. Zeitlos.
Textile Sculpture - Material. Zeit. Präsenz.
Ich forme Textil nicht als Material, sondern als Raum – körperlich, lebendig, präsent. Natürliche, ruhige Töne begegnen leuchtenden, dynamischen Farben und spiegeln das Spannungsfeld zwischen Tradition und Innovation. So entstehen textile Oberflächen, die zu räumlichen Skulpturen werden – getragen von Fragilität und Kraft – und Räume mit Tiefe und Präsenz erfüllen. Die Textilien werden zu stillen Botschaftern, die uns an die Kostbarkeit des Augenblicks erinnern – an die Zerbrechlichkeit und zugleich an die innere Kraft des Lebens.
THE BUTTERFLY WEDDING
BUTTERFLY SERIE – Layer Works
Nr. 01 – The Butterfly Wedding (2025)
Baumwollstoff, 94 x 52 cm
A textile sculpture in which an exciting choreography of movement and stillness unfolds. Folded, interwoven textiles form a sculptural relief reminiscent of frozen wing movements. The lengths of fabric seem to embrace, cross and interweave until an organic composition emerges from the multitude of directions.
A dialog of light, shadow and structure develops between the taut lines and soft transitions. The work conveys the idea of a connection that is not defined by fixed forms, but by movement and balance.
With precise control of materials and an intuitive sense of tension, Alla GrAnde creates a visual metaphor for harmony and duality. THE BUTTERFLY WEDDING is symbolic of the clash of opposites - solid and flowing, rational and poetic, controlled and free - and always moves between architecture and emotion.

Das Kunstwerk The White Dancing Butterflies zeigt eine faszinierende Komposition aus stilisierten, weißen Schmetterlingen, die scheinbar miteinander tanzen.

Die Falten und Faltungen erzeugen Tiefe und Schatten, was dem Werk eine lebendige, skulpturale Qualität verleiht.
The way in which the fabrics are folded, stretched and overlaid creates a three-dimensional effect, making the butterflies appear alive - almost as if they are circling around each other in an airy ballet. The intersecting lines and radial folds reinforce the feeling of movement and lightness.
The monochrome white color scheme lends the work an elegant, almost poetic purity. White often symbolizes freedom, lightness and transformation - exactly what butterflies represent. The subtle play of light and shadow on the folded lengths of fabric creates an additional effect of depth, reinforcing the illusion of dancing, weightless creatures.

Drei Einzelteile, jeweils 120 x 60 cm, ergeben zusammen ein großzügiges Kunstwerk von 120 x 180 cm (ohne Zwischenräume gerechnet).
Das Triptychon The Pearl Butterfly besteht aus drei hochformatigen Tafeln, jeweils 120 x 60 cm groß. Gefertigt wurde das Werk aus fein strukturierten Baumwollstoffbahnen, die in sorgfältiger Handarbeit aufgezogen und kunstvoll modelliert wurden. Die Oberfläche ist in weißem und perlfarbenen Ton bemalt.
The composition looks like an abstract unfolding of wings. The symmetrical arrangement of the three elements creates a harmonious overall effect and its formal language is reminiscent of the stylized silhouette of a butterfly in the process of ascending.
The Pearl Butterfly steht sinnbildlich für Verwandlung, Hoffnung und innere Heilung. In many cultures, the butterfly is a symbol of transformation - from a vulnerable cocoon to a free, floating existence.
The mother-of-pearl tones and the delicate shimmer stand for the light that comes from the depths - like pearls that grow in secret and become something beautiful through pressure.
The lines formed from fabric point to the human journey through life: tensions, changes of direction, concentration on one point - and finally letting go into a new form.
For many people, this work can be a reminder that strength also comes from vulnerability. It invites contemplation and appeals to the emotional level as well as the aesthetic sense.

THE DANCING BUTTERFLIES
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Dancing Butterflies (2025)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 100 x 60 cm
In this work, I explore the tension between movement and stillness. For me, textile structures are not just material, but language - every fiber carries a memory, every fold preserves a moment.
In clear geometry and flowing lines, the fabric captures the moment in which changes become visible before they fade away.
The Dancing Butterflies erinnern daran, dass Schönheit und Leben vergänglich sind. Sie stehen als Sinnbild für Transformation, Auferstehung, die menschliche Seele – und für die Zerbrechlichkeit sowie die Flüchtigkeit des Daseins.

THE STEEL BUTTERFLIES
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Steel Butterflies (2023)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 120 x 100 cm
The wall sculpture shows an abstract interpretation of a butterfly, whose delicate and fragile nature is emphasized by the soft cotton stripes. At the same time, the choice of colors and the composition of the work symbolizes the inner strength and resilience that can be found in even the most fragile of creatures. Black represents darkness and the challenges one faces in life, while gold stands for hope, value and indestructibility.
The artwork conveys a profound message about the duality of strength and fragility. In hard times, when all seems lost, the butterfly still finds the strength to fly on. This metaphor speaks to the resilience and perseverance that lies within each of us, even when we feel at our most vulnerable.
The three-dimensional design brings the sculpture to life and captivates the viewer. The layers and textures of the painted cotton strips create a fascinating visual depth and make the artwork appear different depending on the viewing angle. This reinforces the message of change and adaptability that the butterfly embodies.
The Steel Butterflies ist nicht nur ein ästhetisch ansprechendes Kunstwerk, sondern auch ein kraftvolles Symbol für Stärke, Hoffnung und die Schönheit, die in der Zerbrechlichkeit liegt. Es lädt ein, innezuhalten, nachzudenken und sich inspirieren zu lassen.
THE GOLDEN DESERT 1
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Golden Desert 1 (Diptych) (2023)
Gauze on canvas, 80 x 80 cm
This work is a tribute to the golden desert - to its silence, its infinite expanse and its luminous mystery. Draped lengths of fabric are reminiscent of dunes shaped by the wind, their lines and folds embodying both movement and tranquillity.
Wide, ribbon-like strips intersect, bundle in a center and open up again in a fan shape - like wind tracks in the sand. Shine and shadow change depending on the viewing angle - the surface sometimes appears velvety, sometimes metallic.
The light moves across the surface, making the golden grains glisten like millions of tiny diamonds and bringing the fine structures to life. This creates the impression of a landscape that breathes in the sunlight.
The palette of ochre, sand, bronze and gold creates warmth and an atmosphere of calm and value. The metallic sheen reacts sensitively to daylight and artificial light and changes the expression from matt morning light to evening accentuation.
Here, the desert stands for silence, clarity and reduction - for a space in which only the essential remains.
The Golden Desert feiert die Schönheit des Einfachen, die Kraft der Stille und die zeitlose Eleganz der Natur – ein stilles Leuchten, das Wärme und Beständigkeit ausstrahlt.

Cotton fabric on canvas, 100 x 100 cm
Das abstrakte Kunstwerk zeigt eine faszinierende Texturtechnik, bei der Stoff kunstvoll gefaltet, gerafft und auf die Leinwand gespannt wurde. Die Falten werden durch die Farbgebung hervorgehoben, was eine dreidimensionale, fast skulpturale Wirkung erzeugt.
The cotton was folded and fixed in several sections. This creates radial structures that are reminiscent of butterfly wings.
The movement in the lines indicates a dynamic unfolding process, similar to the moment when a butterfly spreads its wings for the first time.

THE APPLE TREE OF SUCCESS
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Apple Tree of Success (2024)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 120 x 100 cm
The tree as a symbol of our path through life
Viele von uns haben große Träume. Doch bis diese Träume Früchte tragen, müssen wir wachsen – an uns selbst arbeiten, Entscheidungen treffen, Fehler machen und weitermachen.
The apple tree has always been a symbol of fertility, knowledge and the reward of hard work. Success is not an accidental product of nature, but the result of conscious, interwoven efforts and decisions.
The tree, consisting of folded and knotted cotton strands, rises up on a radiant turquoise-blue background - a color that stands for hope, clarity, inspiration and expansiveness. It is an appeal not to think small. Big dreams challenge us to grow beyond ourselves.
The fact that the entire tree is made of cotton fabric lends the work a soft, almost organic vitality. Cotton is a material that is everyday, tangible and familiar - just like the small steps we take every day on the way to our dream.
The trunk, strong and vertical, symbolizes our inner strength, our principles and values.
The interwoven branches of the tree represent the personal growth that is necessary to achieve success. Each branch stands for a characteristic: discipline, courage, perseverance, willingness to learn, empathy, vision.
The knots as apples - the fruit of our efforts.
Every knot in its weave is a sign that we are stronger, clearer and closer to our goal with every step we take.
Like real apples, these knots are visible signs of ripening. They remind us that dreams only bear fruit when they are nurtured with effort, dedication and perseverance. They stand for tests passed, doubts overcome, decisions made - everything that shapes us on our path to personal success.
Apple Tree of Success ist somit nicht nur ein ästhetisches Statement und ein visuelles Highlight, sondern ein täglicher Impulsgeber – ein Aufruf zur Selbstverwirklichung und zur inneren Stärke. Ein Kunstwerk, das nicht nur Räume, sondern auch Gedankenwelten erhellt.
The artwork is a visual affirmation - Dream big, work on yourself, grow steadily - and you will reap the rewards.

THE RHAPSODY OF A SUMMER
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Rhapsody of A Summer (2024)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 100 x 100 cm
In this work, a luminous symphony of color, structure and movement unfolds. Several lengths of fabric glued together form a relief-like surface in which light and shadow, smoothness and tension meet. The vibrant reds, oranges and yellows are broken up by subtle blues and greens, creating a visual pulsation - like the shimmering heat of a summer's day.
Die Komposition spielt mit Überlagerungen, Transparenzen und rhythmischen Vertikalen, die an textile Falten oder Lichtsäume erinnern. Dabei verbindet sich das Physische des Materials mit der malerischen Geste zu einem dichten, vielschichtigen Ganzen. The Rhapsody of A Summer ist eine Hommage an die Energie und Flüchtigkeit des Lichts, an das sinnliche Erleben von Farbe, und zugleich eine stille Hommage an Gerhard Richter – ein Dank an die Freiheit, die Farbe selbst sprechen zu lassen.
Das Werk lädt Sie ein, in eine abstrakte Sommerlandschaft einzutauchen – in einen Raum aus Wärme, Bewegung und Leichtigkeit, in dem Farbe selbst zur Sprache wird.
THE BLUE SUNSET
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Blue Sunset (2024)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 100 x 100 cm
The color spectacle of a sunset always attracts our attention. As the sun sets, the sky transforms into a vibrant interplay of light and color - a moment between clarity and dissolution.
In this work, the phenomenon of the sunset is abstracted and reduced to its emotional essence. Draped fabric structures create depth and movement, while intense layers of blue, red and violet create a luminous field of tension. The eye wanders as if in a fluid transition between day and night - between consciousness and dream.
The cool calm of the blue meets the passionate red, symbolizing the eternal interplay of distance and closeness, control and devotion. Psychologically, this reflects the ambivalence of human emotions: the need for support in the moment of letting go.
Als Hommage an Gerhard Richter verbindet The Blue Sunset malerische Tiefe mit experimenteller Oberflächenstruktur. Wie bei Richter geht es nicht um das Abbild der Realität, sondern um das sichtbar machen des Unsichtbaren – um das Gefühl, das zwischen den Schichten von Farbe und Stoff entsteht.
Das Werk lädt Sie dazu ein, in der stillen Intensität des Augenblicks zu verweilen – dort, wo Schönheit, Vergänglichkeit und Erkenntnis ineinander übergehen.

The surface pulsates in warm nuances ranging from deep red to bright yellow and unfolds an almost glowing energy.
The work is a tribute to the transformation of color itself - from deep red to radiant yellow, from earthy to luminous. This transition stands for transformation, vitality and the moment of inner unfolding.
The gauze, normally delicate and transparent, here becomes a powerful material that creates movement and depth. Shaped and modeled in layers, it transforms into a lively texture reminiscent of fire, earth and sun.
The Yellow Gradient ist ein Werk über Transformation und Intensität. Es lädt dazu ein, sich im Farbverlauf zu verlieren, die Wärme zu spüren und den Dialog zwischen Material und Licht zu erleben – zwischen Ruhe und pulsierender Lebenskraft.
THE 9 HAPPIEST MOMENTS
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The 9 Happiest Moments (Polyptych, 9 panels) (2023)
Gauze on canvas, 25 x 25 cm each
Nine textile fragments made of gauze - nine emotional states between light and memory. Each square stands for an individual moment of joy that cannot simply be repeated, but is transformed in color, structure and light. Together, the nine elements form a visual diary of emotional intensity.
The fragile fabric stands for the permeability of happiness - something you can feel but cannot hold on to. The dense surface combines transparency and depth, intuition and control, color and feeling.
The texture of the gauze, a fabric between permeability and support, becomes a psychological resonance chamber here - it embodies the fragile nature of happiness - fleeting, floating, yet tangibly anchored in inner experience.
Each square is an echo of a happy moment - a brief state of lightness, inner clarity and resonance with the world. Together they form a sensitive network of spiritual energy, a silent archive of positive emotions.
The 9 Happiest Moments ist kein Abbild von Freude, sondern ihre Spur – sichtbar gewordene Empfindung, gewebt aus Licht, Erinnerung und Stoff.

The eye itself is modeled with the help of fine gauze and traversed by a dramatic color gradient. The folds of the gauze express the feeling of liveliness and fragility and remind us of the fragility of the eyes and the vulnerability of our environment.
From the black center, the color gradient transitions into a vibrant azure blue that reflects the colors of the oceans. The blue symbolizes life and the infinity of the seas, which are crucial to our ecosystem and our planet. The colors of the ocean, from deep blue to lighter, almost turquoise hues, reflect both the beauty and vulnerability of the seas.
This eye is a message to humanity to reflect on the state of our oceans and to take action to protect them. The image speaks to the urgent need to preserve the environment and treat the oceans with more respect and responsibility.
In seiner Struktur, Farbwahl und Symbolik vereint The Eye of The Ocean sowohl künstlerische Ästhetik als auch tiefgehende ökologische Botschaften. Es erinnert uns daran, dass die Ozeane das Auge and calls on us to live in harmony with them and protect their natural resources.
What if there was no ocean?
Plant life would disappear from the surface of the planet.
„Wir haben nur einen Planeten. Die Menschheit muss in großem Maßstab für die mutwillige Zerstörung unseres gemeinsamen Zuhauses zur Verantwortung gezogen werden. Der Schutz unserer Zukunft auf diesem Planeten hängt von der bewussten Evolution unserer Spezies ab. Dies ist die dringendste aller Zeiten und die dringendste aller Botschaften.“ Leonardo DiCaprio
THE RIVER OF LIFE
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The River of Life (2023)
Gauze on canvas, 100 x 80 cm
This work is a meditation on change and constancy. Like a river that is constantly changing and yet remains true to its course, it reflects the dynamics of our lives - a constant becoming, passing and new beginnings.
The relief-like structure is reminiscent of currents and branches, symbols of our decisions, experiences and inner movements. The interplay of light and material creates depth and transparency - a reference to the many layers of our consciousness that overlap and interpenetrate each other.
The River of Life lädt zur Kontemplation ein: über Veränderung als natürliche Form des Daseins, über die Kraft, sich treiben zu lassen und doch Richtung zu finden. Es erinnert daran, dass in jeder Bewegung, jedem Übergang und jeder Ungewissheit das eigentliche Wesen des Lebens liegt.
The use of gauze lends the work a fragile, translucent quality. The material itself becomes a symbol of being - it lets light through, breathes and changes its appearance depending on the perspective. It thus refers to the psychological experience that our consciousness is never fixed, but constantly reconfigures itself - in the interplay of memory, perception and inner growth.
The work thus becomes a silent invitation to contemplate our own life stream - not as a straight path, but as a living movement that shapes us and is shaped by us at the same time.
EMOTIONS IN THE FABRIC
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – Emotions in The Fabric (Polyptych, 4 panels) (2023)
Gauze on canvas, 30 x 30 cm each
This polyptych of four works consists of modeled gauze on black canvas. The folded, draped and hardened textures are reminiscent of organic landscapes, as if they were frozen movements of a breathing material.
The choice of strong colors symbolizes different human emotions:
Yellow - Joy, curiosity, vital energy, but also nervousness when the rays become too intense.
Green - Hope, growth, healing, but also the fragile fear of losing stability.
Magenta - Love, passion, vulnerability, the burning fire that warms and demands at the same time.
Turquoise - Calm, clarity, connection with the inner self, but also the cool distance that is necessary to recognize oneself.
The gauze looks like interwoven nerve tracts, a metaphor for the inner world of the human being - confusing, vulnerable and at the same time full of strength. Each fold is like a thought, a memory, a silent emotion that is trapped in the fabric but still tells a story.
Each combination creates a new overall picture, just as our emotions are constantly shifting, recombining and appearing differently depending on the angle.
The modeled gauze is a snapshot of movement - like a breath caught in the fabric. It stands for the fleeting states that often go unnoticed in everyday life, but have an effect deep within us.
On a black background, the colors stand out more strongly, symbolizing the polarity of darkness and light, pain and joy, fear and courage.
The textile material stands for softness and changeability, but in its solidified form it becomes a sculpture of emotions that also reflects our ability to transform. We take shape, deform and become new versions of ourselves.
THE PEARL WAVE
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Pearl Wave (2025)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 80 x 100 cm
A poetic homage to the sea.
This work of art is more than just a visual experience - it is a sensual journey into the depths of our natural world and our own emotional world.
The fabric structure - in shimmering mother-of-pearl tones with delicate golden reflections - is reminiscent of the eternal interplay of light and water on the surface of the sea. The wave seems frozen in motion, captured in a moment of perfect harmony, like a breath of nature. The ray of sunlight that hits the work gives it life. Millions of golden reflections dance across the surface, as if the sea itself had put on a mysterious smile.
The contrast between the cool, calm blue of the background and the warm, shiny metallic fabric creates a deep emotional tension - a balance between calm and movement, between longing and fulfillment. The wave seems alive, almost translucent, like a veil of water through which you can glimpse the soul of the ocean.
This work is a declaration of love to the sea, which calms, inspires and warns us. The transparency and dynamism of the mother-of-pearl-colored wave speaks of the fragility of our environment, its beauty worthy of protection. But it also reminds us of the romance that the sea has always radiated - of lovers on the beach, of quiet moments in the wind, of the infinite blue that embodies hope and freedom.
In dieser abstrakten Darstellung verschmelzen Kunst und Natur, Materie und Emotion. The Pearl Wave – ist ein Werk zum Träumen, ein stiller Appell zur Achtsamkeit und eine Ode an das Leben, das im Meer beginnt und in uns weiterlebt.
THE BLUE WAVE
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Blue Wave (2025)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 80 x 100 cm
The Blue Wave - A tribute to the oceans and life.
This textile artwork with its organic shape and intense coloring conveys a dynamic movement. The curved, wave-like structures symbolize the eternal movement of water, the powerful elegance of the sea that shapes and sustains our planet.
The intense blue tones, interspersed with fine, silvery shimmering silver accents, reflect the variety of colors of the ocean: from the deep, unfathomable blue of the depths to the luminous reflections of the water surface in the sunlight, which give the surface a three-dimensional effect that almost makes the textile material appear.
Blue is considered the color of calm, vastness and longing - to dive into the depths, to let yourself drift and to feel the power of the element of water.
Like the waves that reach the shore gently or with unbridled force, the work represents the rhythm of life - change, renewal and the inseparable connection between man and nature.
The Blue Wave also reminds us of the fragility of the oceans. While the textile material with its fine folds is reminiscent of the structure of water, it also reveals its fragility - a symbol of the need to protect our oceans.
The work thus represents not only the beauty and power of the sea, but also our responsibility to preserve this vital ecosystem.
Mit seiner kunstvoller Textur und fließender Form schafft The Blue Wave eine tiefe Verbindung zwischen Kunst, Natur und Mensch – eine Erinnerung daran, dass unser Leben, wie die Wellen, Teil eines größeren Kreislaufs ist.
THE GOLDEN WAVES 2
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Golden Waves 2 (2025)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 100 x 80 cm
The gauze was processed in a modeling manner so that dynamic, flowing forms are drawn across the picture surface.
The golden patination enhances the play of light and shadow and elegantly emphasizes the sculptural structures. Depending on the incidence of light, shiny or matt areas are created, which intensifies the tactile quality of the work.
Dieses Werk vermittelt die Stille, die es ausstrahlt – trotz der Bewegung in seinen Linien. Es hat etwas Erdendes und Meditatives. Es drückt Widerstandsfähigkeit aus – ein inneres Gewebe, das Schönheit im Chaos findet.
At the same time, the gold radiates a kind of warmth and reconciliation - almost like a quiet consolation that everything, even the unclear, is part of a larger context.
WAVES suggests a constant flow, a return - like waves in the sea, thoughts in the mind or emotions in the heart. They are intangible, but they move and shape.
GOLDEN stands for the precious in the transient, the light in the depths, perhaps also for memory, wisdom or inner wealth.
The work thus appears like a landscape of the soul - not loud, but powerful in its stillness. The waves are not stormy, but carried, formed from experience, interwoven with life.
THE GOLDEN WAVES 1
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Golden Waves 1 (2025)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 100 x 80 cm
The Golden Waves 1 strahlt Stärke, Sinnlichkeit und Präsenz aus.
Das Werk erinnert an tanzende Stoffe im Wind, wie Schleier oder Gewänder antiker Göttinnen; Lebensbahnen, die sich überkreuzen, bewusst, energisch, voller Eigengewicht; Zeit, die sich faltet, nicht linear, sondern in Schichten und Schleifen.
The wave movement remains the unifying motif - this time, however, less playful, but more targeted and clearer. The gold now stands not only for inner riches, but also for self-assertion, dignity and maturity.
This work is like a statement - I am here. I have become. I claim space.
It is no longer just about memory and flow, but about design. The lengths of fabric take up space - they spread out, they are allowed to be visible. They are no longer random, but make a statement, stand by their form.
The texture dominates the work. The cotton fabric panels traverse the picture surface in flowing arcs, tightly laid and artfully twisted.
Das Lichtspiel auf den Falten verstärkt die Dreidimensionalität, sodass das Werk fast skulptural wirkt. Man könnte darin eine Emanzipation der Seele sehen – das Zelebrieren eines Ichs, das sich nicht mehr verbiegt, sondern sich in voller Schönheit entfaltet.
THE RESONANCE
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Resonance (2025)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 80 x 80 cm
Die Wandskulptur The Resonance steht für die feine Verbindung zwischen Mensch, Raum und Emotion. Gefaltete Stoffbahnen entfalten eine visuelle Schwingung, ein vibrierendes Geflecht aus Bewegung, Licht und Schatten – Sinnbild für Vitalität, Kreativität und unerschöpfliche Energie.
The term Resonance verweist auf ein zentrales psychologisches und philosophisches Konzept – Kunst wird nicht nur betrachtet, sondern erlebt und gefühlt. The Resonance schafft einen Raum der Beziehung, in dem Wahrnehmung, Emotion und Reflexion in Schwingung treten.
Colors and shapes enter into dialogue, reacting to each other like inner and outer worlds in harmony. The luminous tones - from warm red and orange to contrasting blue - create a vibrant tension. The relief-like surface catches the light, allowing it to refract and reflect, making the work appear to be in constant motion.
Transformation addresses change as a continuous process that is evident in nature as well as in the human psyche.
The work shows movement and change in their purest form. The color-intensive, flowing structures are reminiscent of a process of transformation - from the old to the new, from the inside to the outside - a symbol of energy, development and the continuous dynamics of life.
THE RAINBOW WAVES
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Rainbow Waves (Diptych) (2025)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 120 x 60 cm each
The Rainbow Waves bestehen aus modellierter und bemalter Baumwolle. Die textile Oberfläche ist durch intuitive Faltung, Spannung und Farbauftrag in lebendige vertikale Wellen verwandelt worden. Die Stoffbahnen erzeugen eine rhythmische, fast vibrierende Bewegung, die durch den Farbverlauf zusätzlich intensiviert wird.
The work on the left shows a cool transition from deep blue to turquoise to a bright green. The work on the right, on the other hand, begins with warm tones - a fiery orange, flaming red and strong violet. Both panels appear like two poles of a rainbow. This juxtaposition creates tension and harmony at the same time.
The arrangement and colors are immediately reminiscent of light reflections on water - like an illuminated bridge at night.
The reflection of the colorfully illuminated building in the dark water creates an almost liquid, shimmering world of colour, which is reflected in the vertical structures of the artworks. The textile implementation looks like a stylized, abstract homage to this interplay of light, architecture and nature.
The Rainbow Waves können auch als Symbol für das Spektrum menschlicher Gefühle verstanden werden. Jede Farbe trägt ihre eigene emotionale Resonanz – Blau für Ruhe und Nachdenklichkeit, Grün für Hoffnung und Wachstum, Rot für Leidenschaft, Orange für Energie, Violett für Tiefe und Spiritualität. Die Bewegung der Stoffe lässt diese Gefühle nicht als starre Zustände erscheinen, sondern als fließende, sich verändernde Energien – ganz wie das Wasser, das Licht reflektiert.
The wave structure evokes associations of breath, heartbeat or frequency - it visualizes something that connects us all: the inner flow, the emotional ups and downs, being human.
The Rainbow Waves – ist eine Brücke zwischen natürlicher Erscheinung und unserer inneren Welt. Die Werke verbinden das Sichtbare und das Unsichtbare zugleic – das Licht, das sich in Farben bricht, und die Emotionen, die sich in Farbtönen ausdrücken.
EQUILIBRIUM
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – Equilibrium (2024)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 80 x 80 cm
Equilibrium – ist eine Komposition aus drapierten Stoffbahnen in leuchtendem Rot, warmem Orange, intensivem Gelb und tiefem Blau. Die Stoffe formen ein geometrisches Muster, das Bewegung und Ruhe zugleich ausstrahlt.
The changing light creates a lively interplay of shine and shadow on the surface, constantly revealing new facets. Gentle waves in the drapery lend the work rhythm and depth - a balance between structure and emotion.
A golden accent emphasizes individual lines and makes the colors glow. Depending on the angle of view, the shimmer changes, sometimes delicately, sometimes powerfully, lending the work an almost magical vibrancy.
The artwork refers to the human quest for balance - the point at which opposites come into harmony. It is a reminder that true harmony does not come from standing still, but from the conscious interplay of movement and stillness.
So verkörpert Equilibrium die Balance zwischen Energie und Stille, Opulenz und Zurückhaltung – ein pulsierendes Spiel aus Farbe, Form und Licht.
THE RAINBOW RAIN
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Rainbow Rain (2024)
Gauze on canvas, 60 x 120 cm
Das Kunstwerk The Rainbow Rain ist ein beeindruckendes Beispiel moderner abstrakter Kunst, das mit seiner einzigartigen Technik und Farbkomposition sofort ins Auge fällt.
The picture was made from gauze - a light, permeable fabric that was laid in fine vertical folds here. This structure creates a three-dimensional surface on which the color appears alive. The folds of fabric create additional depth and dynamism, reflecting and absorbing the light in different ways.
The surface was painted with acrylic paint - applied in vertical lines reminiscent of falling rain. The paint application appears almost sculptural and has a tactile texture, as can be seen in the close-up image. Some of the drops of paint are raised on the fabric, which gives the work an additional tactile quality.
The color palette ranges from bright yellow and orange to red and magenta to deep violet and blue. These colors appear as if refracted by light - similar to a rainbow reflected in raindrops. The gradients are flowing and at the same time rich in contrast, creating a rhythmic, almost musical impression.
The vertical alignment of the color strokes reinforces the association with rain. At the same time, the regular structure of the gauze folds creates a meditative, almost hypnotic effect. The work appears lively, but also calming - like a quiet rain in the light of a sunset.
Die Kombination aus Textilstruktur, der Farbanwendung und intensiver Farbgebung macht The Rainbow Rain zu einem visuellen Erlebnis.
BLUE EQUILIBRIUM
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – Blue Equilibrium (2024)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 80 x 80 cm
This work reveals a quiet but powerful energy. Vertical lines run through the surface like solidified waves, carrying movement and calm at the same time. The blue rises from the depths of the luminous red - cool, clear, almost meditative. Their transition creates a moment of balance - equilibrium.
While the red stands for inner glow, vitality and emotion, the blue symbolizes consciousness, clarity and expansiveness. The work is a dialog between these two poles - between the burning of life and the longing for stillness.
The draped fabric lends the surface an organic liveliness. Light refracts in the folds, shadows change perception with every movement of the viewer. This creates an optical and emotional depth that goes beyond the purely visual.
From a psychological point of view, BLUE EQUILIBRIUM embodies the state of inner balance - the moment when opposites are no longer in conflict but support each other. The work invites us to feel the tension between passion and peace, intensity and clarity - and to recognize the harmony in change.
A contemporary work that radiates both calm and strength through its simple form and emotional resonance.
RED EQUILIBRIUM
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – Red Equilibrium (2024)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 80 x 80 cm
This work of art unfolds as a dynamic interplay of color, structure and energy. Vertical lines run through the surface like rhythmic breaths - they appear simultaneously controlled and free, tense and flowing. An intense interplay between black and red creates a field of tension between depth and glow.
Das Schwarz zieht den Blick nach innen, in eine meditative Stille. Es symbolisiert das Unbewusste, das Verborgene – die Seite des Menschen, die sich der Kontrolle entzieht. Aus dieser Dunkelheit bricht das Rot hervor – leuchtend, vital, emotional. Es steht für Bewegung, Lebenskraft und Transformation. Zwischen diesen beiden Polen entsteht das Gleichgewicht – the Equilibrium - the center of the composition and at the same time the center of our inner balance.
The surface appears almost three-dimensional. The draping of the fabric gives the work an organic structure reminiscent of flowing energy. Light and shadow move across the folds, changing the expression with every viewing angle. The result is a multi-sensory experience - a moment in which matter, movement and emotion become one.
Psychologisch betrachtet spiegelt Red Equilibrium den inneren Zustand zwischen Kontrolle und Leidenschaft, Vernunft und Instinkt. Es lädt dazu ein, in der Spannung zwischen Gegensätzen Ruhe zu finden – in jenem Augenblick, in dem alles im Gleichgewicht ist, auch wenn es in Bewegung bleibt.
A contemporary work that fascinates with its powerful colors, sensual depth and subtle complexity.
THE CHECKMATE
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Checkmate (2024)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 80 x 80 cm
The draped fabric forms the heart of the work. The folding creates subtle movements and tensions - similar to the lines and decisions that shape our lives. Each fold tells of an inner process - of control and letting go, of planning and intuition. The fabric thus becomes a symbol of human consciousness - multi-layered, sensitive, always in motion.
The chessboard pattern refers to the game of life. Like chess, it is about choosing the next step carefully. Every decision takes us further, but it also carries the risk of failure. Checkmate here does not stand for an end, but for a turning point - for the moment in which insight arises.
From a psychological perspective, the work shows the eternal dialog between opposites: Light and shadow, reason and emotion, security and risk. The black and white symbolizes this duality that shapes and drives us.
Mit The Checkmate entsteht ein Spannungsfeld aus Struktur und Emotion, Strategie und Zufall – eine Einladung, das Leben als ein Spiel aus Entscheidungen, Erfahrungen und innerem Wachstum zu begreifen.
THE HOPE
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Hope (2024)
Cotton fabric on canvas, 100 x 80 cm
I created this artwork shortly before the sudden death of our son with the hope that he would manage to live on.
Das abstrakte Kunstwerk besteht aus Stoffstreifen in einer Falttechnik. Die Farbpalette besteht aus Schwarz, Beige und einem grünen Streifen, die zusammen ein tiefes symbolisches Bild der Hoffnung ergeben.
Die Farbe Schwarz steht für die Herausforderungen und dunklen Zeiten, die Menschen durchmachen. Es symbolisiert die Unsicherheiten oder Ängste, die oft überwunden werden müssen, um Hoffnung zu finden.
Die neutralere Farbe Hellbeige dient als eine Art Hintergrund, der Ruhe und Stabilität darstellt. Es symbolisiert den Boden, auf dem Hoffnung wachsen kann.
Grün wird oft assoziiert mit Hoffnung, Erneuerung und Leben. Der grüne Streifen im Bild stellt den zentralen Funken der Hoffnung dar, der die Dunkelheit durchdringt.
Das Kunstwerk in seiner Gesamtheit erzählt eine Geschichte der Hoffnung, die selbst in den schwierigsten Zeiten aufblühen kann. Der Stoff betont die Sanftheit und Anpassungsfähigkeit der Hoffnung, die trotz aller Widrigkeiten bestehen bleibt und wächst.
THE LABYRINTH 1
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Labyrinth 1 (2023)
Gauze on canvas, 100 x 100 cm
Private Collection
Der Weg offenbart sich im Gehen.
Ein Labyrinth ist ein Ort der Suche – ein Weg voller Wendungen, auf dem wir uns verlieren und wiederfinden. Jeder Schritt bringt uns weiter, auch wenn wir die Richtung nicht immer erkennen.
As in life, we sometimes approach our goal slowly, sometimes we seem to be moving away from it. But every detour, every pause, every dead end is part of it.
It is crucial to keep going - to remain curious, not to lose courage and to be prepared to try new paths.
We never see the whole plan, only the section in front of us. And yet, sooner or later, every path leads to the core of the labyrinth - to ourselves.
THE LABYRINTH 2
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The Labyrinth 2 (2023)
Gauze on canvas, 100 x 80 cm
The journey is the destination
A LABYRINTH is a winding path that ultimately always leads to the goal. We can compare our path through life to a labyrinth.
Life is a constant progression and, like a labyrinth, you sometimes get closer to your goal and then further away from it again.
Sometimes we come to a dead end and can't get any further. Then it is important not to give up, but to have the courage to go back a bit and try out a new path.
We never know exactly how far we have come, as we can only see the path as far as the next bend.
But we can be sure that the path will definitely lead to the goal.
THE WHITE GARDEN
Butterfly Series
Nr. 02 – The White Garden (2023)
Gauze on canvas, 100 x 100 cm
Modellierte Textur als Hommage an Wachstum und Stille.
Das Werk The White Garden wurde aus feiner Gaze von Hand modelliert. Die Stoffbahnen wurden in Kordeln gedreht und Schicht für Schicht auf einem textilen Träger zu einem floralen Relief zusammengesetzt. In einem meditativen Arbeitsprozess entstanden spiralförmige Linien, abstrahierte Blattmotive und verwobene Strukturen, die an die Formen eines Gartens erinnern – reduziert, aber voller Leben.
The subsequent monochrome painting in white elevates the form above the color. The effect of light and shadow created by the sculptural surface gives the work a special depth and calm. It thus invites the viewer to engage with the subtleties of the surface, the traces of manual work and the sensual quality of the texture.
Diese Serie ist meiner tiefen Faszination für die Natur gewidmet – ihrer Vielfalt, ihren Formen, Strukturen und stillen Rhythmen. In jedem Werk dieser Reihe versuche ich, die Essenz natürlicher Prozesse, die stille Poesie organischer Formen und die unendliche Kreativität der Pflanzenwelt in einer abstrakten Bildsprache einzufangen.
Instead of imitating nature, I reinterpret it - with minimalist means and in a very personal, tactile language.
The White Garden ist nicht nur ein Bild – es ist eine stille Komposition aus Bewegung, Material und Erinnerung an die Natur, die zugleich lebendig und kontemplativ wirkt.
