About this artwork
This picture was taken after a trip through Malta, where I was particularly fascinated by the lighting conditions – this mixture of radiant expanses and narrow, historic alleys.
I wanted to capture the feeling when the sun is at its zenith and the streets seem to vibrate. I worked with heavily diluted acrylic paint—almost like watercolor—to keep the atmosphere as airy as possible.
The lines are spontaneous, almost dance-like, as if the scene were… forming from memory.
For me, “Malta” is less a precise place than a mood: southern, bright, powerful and full of history.

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.
