About this artwork
In this watercolor, I'm devoting myself to the Aaron's rod—a plant that fascinates me with its upright dignity, elegant lines, and lush, almost tropical foliage. The white calyxes stand upright like small torches of light in the dense greenery, while the watercolor oscillates between control and free movement.
I wanted to capture a natural balance between fullness and transparency with the lightness of watercolor—as a tribute to a plant that moves… between clarity and exoticism.
The picture is currently in a light brown frame with a white passepartout and measures approximately 60x60cm.

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.
