The Muse of Decision is calling you to make a choice. Symbolism Two keys The two keys symbolise the keys to different realities. She offers you access - but you have to choose one. Symmetries in the Muses Lace Represents the symmetric value of different realitie. There is not one "good choice" and one "bad" - they are different - but same in value. Its not about one choice being better then another - its about manifesting something through the act of choice itself. There i

Symbolism Moth / Butterfly Mystical animal, connected to the eternal feminine Source, lets it self drifting through emptiness in motion. Know knowing anything. There is also a story of one of my favourite Philosophers, Dschuang Dsi: "Dschuang Dsi was dreaming he was a butterfly. The dream was vivid and felt so real, that upon wakening, Dschuang Dsi was asking himself: Am I Dschuang Dsi, who was dreaming he was a butterfly - or am I a butterfly, dreaming he is Dschuang Dsi ?"

Reinterpretation of an 15 year old painting - "Way of Sophia"

Asian Muse - 34cm x 120cm - japanese Sumi ink & gold-leaf on chinese rice paper Tried a "chaotic" process for this one. First created the texture with japanese Sumi Ink on Chinese Rice Paper. Then photographed the texture, took a figure-sketch I had, and tried to position the figure sketch in a way that matched the texture. Then, applied the sketch to the paper and "carved the figure out" in negative space. It was a very pleasant process. 34cm x 120cm - japanese Sumi ink & g

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the possibilities of color.Then I focus on values only an try grayscale. Painted this one on Bamboo-Paper with japanese Sumi ink, and pencils.

"A.I. is the same as photography - artists should accept this change." No its not you f...ing idiot ! YES, Photography can be Art. But Photographers dont try to act as painters. Photographers dont take part in Painting-Contests, and they dont try to fool people into having them believe that instead of using a machine like a photo-camera, they painted everything. IF A.I. wants to be art, it CAN. But it has to create its own field of competition and exchange. As long as you

Wandering on the edge of the hypnagogic state, she trusts the fall into the realm of the dream, to perceive the inner world... Connected to " She who lets go " in the Oracleia... Pencil, Japanese Sumi ink & genuine tibetan gold-leaf on Bamboo-Paper

"She who walks alone" This piece is of special meaning to me. It was my first painting ever sold. The following is an absolute real story - I hope it can inspire some of you: I was stuck in a time of fiancial need, and urgently needed about 400€ to move foreward with an investment that could potentially open my way into a small buisness. Having no other possibility left, I decided to trust the only thing I knew I was good at - painting. So I sat down and meditated for a long

No Scetches were done for this one. Sometimes I am not in the mood for "planning" my works... It´s more the way of "natural growing", with all the mistakes that may happen that I like. So I started with a "wild" layer of traditional japanese Sumi Ink, and then try to "see" the picture. You don´t know were you are about to going with this method, but sometimes it works... just go with the flow... Here are some work in progress images.I choose this as a cover for my very first

Finally I did it. This picture was a lot of work, even if it may not look so. There are lots and lots of layers of soft grey washes done here. It may not reach the hundred-mark, but I am sure there are about 60-80 layers. For those who are interested in, I managed to remind my self of taking some work in progress pictures... so here they are: Here you can see... almost nothing. But a thing you can notice is how fine chinese rice paper is. It really is nearly about transparent

After a while, not being able to paint, I decided to finish this pice : Like most pictures I do this time, there was no sketch for this one... Unfortunately, I did no earlier picture of this painting. I just forget about that, while I am painting :(   Have to think about next time… I did a rough and wet in wet wash, for getting some texture and than try to see the ready painting in this… After being so far, I found the yellow a little bit too light, and the moon to less in co

I started now, making such small “Notans”, finding them to be a good help in planning a picture. Even if the later painting is with colors, the tone-values have a very important rule, in how the picture impact on the viewers eyes. You can have the most beautifully colors, but the will not work, if you use no different values, and on the other hand, with a good composition of dark and lighter values, it must not be necessary to use too much colors, for the image to bound the v
