A world of colour 

A world without colour is unthinkable to me

Colour to show off with, colour as lure, to defend with, to change colour like the octopus so beautifully performs during a hunt or for camouflage.  To change its  feather blanket  like the “loon” each springtime from a dull and colourless feather coat  to reappear as a fairy tale like creature with its beautiful feather coat in black and white  consisting out of hundreds  spots and specs to seduce and charm his female counter part.  

Not to begin to mention  the world of flora.   The fantastic colour spectacle  that takes place on this so beautiful and wonderful planet  is to much and to incredible to speak about.

Colour to me is a necessity and  a supplement and an extension  to my  existence.  I can so truly enjoy them.

Underneath the waters surface, above water in the sky, colours are everywhere and it has captured me hopelessly. 

Colours knows and holds  no boundaries, everything’s is permitted, like it is so in nature.

To me colour is a joyous celebration. Through my work  I can and  love to play endlessly with colours.

Often I find it even quite bold, and naughty, that’s what I love about it, but I certainly think that it has to be a harmonious and balanced  unity, the colours will have to strengthen each other as it where. 

Through working with glass I am given the possibility and opportunity  to create and combine  the transparency  in depth with colour and shape.
