About this artwork
In this watercolor, I captured the majestic beauty of blooming irises. The vibrant green tones of the leaves blend with warm orange nuances that give the blossoms their luminous accent. With loose brushstrokes and flowing color gradients, I wanted to depict the vitality and elegant growth of the plants—almost as if they were reaching toward the light.
The picture is in a dark blue frame with a white passepartout and measures 74x54cm in total.

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.
