KREISLAUF DES WASSERS

CIRCUIT OF WATER

The WASH festival has the aim to help make access to clean water easier for people who nowadays have to walk for hours to the next pond. 
Artists from all over the world got selected to contribiute to this idear. I was happy to meet old friends again and make new ones.

Thank you viva con agua WASH festival for making this happen and bring all of us together!

each one of us had a wall constructed of pieces of woods in diffrent sizes, colours and textures
my wall had a greenish round shaped part on the left, so it was clear it's gonna be a mami-water tale
the rest of the painting built itself up based on the shapes, textures and colours of the woods, of the imputs we became at the workshop about water-consumption that the Welt-Hunger-Hilfe gave us and of thoughts about circuits in life. Circuits of souls. Circuits of water.

GUERREIRAS SOLTANDO OS BIXOS — O SOM DO BERIMBAU

WARRIORS LET GO THE BEASTS — THE SOUND OF A BERIMBAU

Swiss cooks have founded the project cuisine sans frontiere with the idear, that food brings together people, is a good opportunity to have conversations and through that creat a better environment. I spent five weeks with a chef and an administrator to translate and paint a mural in the favela Cidade de Plastico in Periperi in Salvador da Bahia.

We danced «rebolation», we ate rice and beans every day, we ran because of shootings and then saw the shot guy get carried away in a hand barrol, we were right next to the beach and every evening there was a sunset like an impresionist painting, the radio refreshed my musicmemories of the 80ies «heal the world», Elton Jhon and Erasure whise, kids drawing on their papers and tables and chairs causing another fight which belonged to the daily routine, dragquenns giving an audience on friday nights. Making new friends and having hours and hours of conversations and beers. Thanks to Cusisine sans Frontier, Sonja und Sonja, MSTB, Natal, Grazielli, Kelly, Emol, Julio, Thais, Bigode, Questão, ICEBE and all the other people!

RABIESTIKA FOX / RABIESTIKA DEER / RABIESTIKA BABOON

A serie of paintings on and behind glass for my soloshow «RABIESTIKA» in July 2011 in Berlin.

I'm sure you know this feeling when something happens in your life, that seems so wrong and that hurts so much as it must hurt to have a knife stuck straight in your heart. It makes you rage and scream and drives tears of anger in your eyes.... similar to how rabies infected beasts go mad. With white foam infront of the mouth, totally raging out of control.

I made some tests with glass over the last years, the results did not satisfie nor were they worth publishing and when I stumbled over a religous Austrian Hinterglassmalerei painting in a museum plus some dusty frames in our attic I chose to give it a try. The fox, the deer and the baboon made it into the show. Savely trapped behind glass. Like animals in a zoo.

AETERNA VANITAS

Outside of Berlin, at the lake Grabowsee, stands an abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium, where a group of ambitioned people is working on realizing a project called kidsglobe.org. A project rooted in the believe that our future lies in the education of our kids. It aims to create a boarding school where kids not only get trained in common knowlege but  also in arts, handcrafts, agriculture and how to respect eachother and the nature. 

When I first went to paint at Grabowsee I didn't know so much about the project.... it was the day after Amy Winehouses death and my thoughts were circling around dying young. So in the train I had this ruff idea of an animal and a mermaid dancing handing over symbols of vanity to each other.... to paint the moment of full youth, joy and party beeing ripped into eternity.
