'The Wolves are at my Door' shows a woman, observing the viewer in a lurking position that stands in contrast to the background. She is barefoot on a stony construction and wears only a short dress  amidst an inhospitable environment. Not only the snow-covere landscape, the approaching thunderstorm and her posture but also the title gives a feeling of danger.

The painting 'Laura' shows my beautiful daughter, surrounded by daffodils and dressed in a sweater I knitted by myself. Daffodils grow in the spring. They are rated ambivalently. Laura was born in spring, more precisely on Easter Sunday but it was a pretty exhausting birth.  For this reason it's so rich in contrast. Sometimes also bad experiences can turn to something positive.

'Untitled (Series 6, No. 8)' shows a crying, sobbing woman with a pain-filled face holding her right arm in front of her stomach and sitting in an empty, dark and indefinable room in a cowing posture. The colors are dark and cloudy and the figure is in the lower third of the portrait, so that the dark space above it appears even more threatening. The painting has no title, because the feeling of loss, sorrow, fear and despair is universal and expresses the figure, which no title can express. It is part of a series dedicated to the expression of these feelings.
