Acrylic on Canvas, 140x100cm, framed
November 2024
I like to see this painting as a kind of self portrait.
It symbolizes my inner emotional world and portrays the storms I went through at that time, but also catches a glimpse of hope.
I started it in September 2024, in a situation of great uncertainty. It was mainly the uncertainty about my future mixed with the current struggles and spiritual battles I had been fighting since the year before.
At that time I was absolutely fascinated with the works of the romantic period of the early nineteenth century, because I could relate so well with their motives and desires. One being faced with the troubles of modern society, feeling isolated and overwhelmed and secondly escaping into nature and the secret wish for nature to take up human’s space in its rawest form.
I came across C.D. Friedrich’s painting „Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer“ and I really liked the idea of it portraying the loneliness of man and the grandeur of nature.
I would name that as the inspiration for this art piece.
“He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.”
Psalms 107:29 NIV
