About this artwork
In my painting "Cathedral," I explore the monumental presence and spiritual energy of Gothic architecture. With bold palette knife application and clearly structured areas of color in red, white, and blue, I create a vertical tension reminiscent of tall pillars, stained-glass windows, and towering spires. The texture engages in a dialogue with light and depth—as if the cathedral were igniting in flames, light, or sound.
The twin image is called… "Sky-Line."
The gold-leaf frames were unfortunately slightly scratched during an exhibition, so the paintings can be delivered with or without frames. The frame would still incur a €100 surcharge. The total size, including the frame, is approximately 112 x 92 cm.

I've been fascinated by portraiture since childhood. In 1977, I began painting nudes and in oils, and from 1995, watercolors defined my style. I taught adult education courses in Neumarkt and Eugendorf and exhibited regularly. In 2000, I added acrylic and airbrush, and in 2001, I delved deeper into the techniques of the Old Masters. A highlight was the presentation of my complete works and the opening of my new studio in Salzburg in 2002. There, I created a cycle on the 22 Hebrew letters, inspired by Jewish traditions. In 2005, I received a commission for an altarpiece in Salzburg-Sam. Since 2014, I've been working on the Expressive Realism acrylic cycle.
For me, art means expressing the invisible behind the visible. My focus is on the human being—their story, their depth. Various techniques help me make emotions visible. My works aim to touch people, to make identity and spirituality tangible.
