With
water colours I prefer a completely different approach. We have developed
towards a degree of self-reliance that has become problematic in itself
.
By realising our intellectual freedom to the full,
we have learnt to draw knowledge solely from our own awareness. We want
to enforce our will onto nature and landscape by all means.
Nowadays we are able to perceive the negative
aspects of such a development. Like the first men, we need to learn
again how to understand the invisible dimensions of earth, landscape
and nature.
My
last water colours point in that direction. Each picture is dedicated
to one particular topic. Runes are to reinforce the message. Runes are
to render my paintings more powerful.

Although
knowledge of runes has been oppressed through religious intolerance
and tyranny, they have survived through oral tradition.
Pre-Christian peoples from Northern Europe left them. At that
time emphasis was placed on personal freedom und independence. There
weren't any absolute truths either.
The views of other people on the mysteries of
birth, life and death were not regarded as a threat but as different
aspects of a manifold truth, of tolerance and respect.

Generally
speaking, men and women enjoyed equal rights although they did not
do the same work.
They were seen as egalitarian, as 'complementary opposites' in a partnership,
to which each partner contributed equal shares.
We
are still fighting for all that. My rune-paintings are to remind us
of that struggle.
The brilliance of the water colours are meant to help accept that
message.
We
live amidst colours. We just need to look at nature. Many people have
forgotten how to consciously live with colours. Colours imply energy,
light and oscillation.
By
means of my colour-networking I would like to arouse being, thinking,
feeling, touching, seeing and smelling in the viewer. The freedom
of our minds makes it particularly thrilling to set off for this universe.
