I have deliberately refrained from providing any personal or further biographical information. Esberg is a project name. It is not about real names, origins, or history – it is solely about images, colors, and textures. My work is predominantly created intuitively, physically, and often impulsively – with a palette knife, brush, and other tools; structure, contrast, and dynamics are central aspects. I understand painting as my own dialogue with the surface, not as the expression of a personal narrative. And ultimately, my paintings can and should speak for themselves and have an immediate impact on interested viewers. For me, the only thing that counts is the pleasurable desire to surprise with my art through the interplay of colors, shapes, and textures, to invite my own interpretations, and, last but not least, to avoid any boredom.
