This work consist of two found pictures. I first combined them before I started to paint with watercolor. I placed them together because of the contrast between the two. With the silkscreen layer the accents are enhanced.

To the woods   -  watercolor and silkscreen  -   2018   

Silkscreen print over a drawing. The drawing is based on a edited photo. I painted the background white. Thats why you see the transparent lines
in the back.

Backside 

For my new works I used personal pictures from my family book. Snapshots during holidays but only the strange moments in time.
From the photo I start drawing. Not to create the perfect copy of the image but to give it more purpose. At the end the photographic image 
is silkscreened on top. Sometimes the result is a very realistic image but it might just end complete abstract.

Nr. 2 from the serie drawings from pictures through fogged windows.

Nature nr. 2

I have always had an fascination for fogged windows. This one is from a serie of five prints, all looking trough a fogged window into nature.

Nature nr. 1

Form this work I used an old photo from my family book. Its my daughter lying in her bed while we are tearing down the tent.
Because I first draw and than print the photographic layer with silkscreen, the image shifts.
