"I am an experimenter - committing to one style would mean saying goodbye to my creativity."

Oil and acrylic are my preferred media.
Canvas, Tetra Pak, fabric as a painting surface - anything is possible.
Brushes, spatulas, fingers, street brooms, squeegees...

My technical-analytical approach tends to lead me towards a realistic painting style, but even in abstraction there is almost always something realistic to be found.
My pseudonym as a painter is DLII (D as in Dieter, LII as in 52 in Roman numerals - my year of birth 1952 - Daily News as a statement).

While painting, I let the video camera look over my shoulder and upload these making-of videos to my YouTube channel (approx. 1.7M clicks).
I describe my paintings in terms of composition, background story and technique on my homepage and in my book "Making Of - A Look Over the Shoulder of a Painter".
I have chosen the combination of painting, video, and image description as my philosophy.
