Place and origin

Spreewald Light

The Spreewald has a particular kind of light. It is not dramatic in a loud way. It moves across water, appears between trees, changes with the seasons and often feels quiet before you even know why.

My studio is surrounded by this landscape: canals, bridges, forests, birds, garden paths and slow reflections. These are not only subjects for pictures. They shape how I think about colour and atmosphere.

The Spreewald Light series is my regional anchor. It carries the feeling of origin into a home. A canal scene can make a hallway softer. Cranes can bring movement into a still wall. A bridge can become a small memory of crossing from one part of life into another.

I like that regional art does not have to feel nostalgic. It can be modern, colourful and personal while still belonging to a real place. For me, the Spreewald is not a theme. It is the ground under the work.

That is also why regional production matters to me. The framed edition connects art from the Spreewald with paper, glass and frames made close to home. The finished piece should feel connected from idea to object.
