Davor Danach Jetzt (Before After Now)

The title “Davor Danach Jetzt” (Bevor After Now) for this work does not describe a sequence or a narrative. The title is open, observant, and deliberately non-directive. Time is not explained; it is not a chronology, but rather juxtaposes three states. The decisive factor is that “now” comes at the end. It draws everything that came before into the moment.

“Before After Now” is a large-format, one-of-a-kind work that makes an impact with its dense, multi-layered surface and lively yet controlled use of color. On the canvas, shades of blue, red, green, and orange overlap with earthy nuances, white, broken pastel tones, and accentuated warm color fragments.

The application of paint and the high number of layers create new color mixtures, islands of color, valleys, and mountains. The paint application is visible, impasto in places, glazed or scraped off in others, creating an exciting texture. Traces of the working process are deliberately retained, lending the work depth and presence.

Its balanced format makes the work particularly suitable for living rooms, offices, or practice rooms, where it acts as an independent, color-intensive, yet calm image body and unfolds a visual dynamic. Every detail is part of a unique, non-reproducible creative process.
