A middle-aged male head, visible up to the eyebrows in bright red, fixates on a point outside the picture plane.
Superimposed on top of this is the same portrait, mirrored in yellow tones, but only vaguely indicated.
The neutral wall background frames the head in figurative shades of red and dark blue.
In Chinese facial diagnosis, our face is the mask we present to the outside world. But it is also the gateway to our inner self.
From the viewer’s… perspective, the right side of the face is our public mask, while the left side represents our inner feelings
and reflects everything we suppress. Both sides of the face are depicted twice here,
to balance private (left) and public (right).

My father's interest in South American cultures was an early incentive for me to read in his library.
During my training I became interested in the Impressionists and Dutch painters. A subsequent graphic design course also expanded my skills in life drawing. A longer move to Santa Fe in New Mexico was a welcome change to soak up new inspiration. Three children's books and several book illustrations were created from this. After returning to Lake Waginger, I became interested in Japanese Zen Buddhism both through painting and intensive meditation. The founding of the joint KIWA Institute was followed by further training, which I completed in Malaysia with 2 master's degrees in Chinese astrology and classical Feng Shui. Since then I have been active in lectures, seminars and consultations as well as continuing to work as a painter in exhibitions.
