About this artwork

Ariadne was in love. Theseus was one of seven youths who, along with seven maidens, sailed from Athens to Crete. They were to be sacrificed to the Minotaur, the monster that lived in the labyrinth on Crete. Theseus had volunteered for this deadly voyage. He was a famous hero and the son of King Aegeus of Athens; he would defeat the monster. No one had ever emerged from the labyrinth alive. Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, fell instantly… in love when she saw Theseus, and He, too, was captivated by her grace and beauty. It broke her heart to think that her beloved would die in the labyrinth. With a thick ball of yarn, she stood at the entrance of the labyrinth and gave Theseus the end of the thread. The ball unwound. She waited. Theseus returned; the thread had led him out of the labyrinth.

My career as a painter began with my first pocket money, when I bought myself some wax crayons. I enthusiastically painted 'scratch pictures,' but over the years, the beginning of a potential career in painting was pushed aside by writing. In my hometown of Stuttgart, I trained as an editor at a daily newspaper, studied economics, and my heart belonged to journalism. With my three children, I discovered children's literature. I wrote children's radio plays for broadcasters and children's books for the Ravensburg publishing house. Others drew the wonderful illustrations. As a filmmaker, I accompanied the cameramen with language and content. Painting remained present in the background. In my current home of Berlin, my apartment has been transformed into a studio with a sawmill and lumberyard. I love it.
