My hidden studio is related to the house where I live. It is surrounded by a garden and a small forest. Only a few people know where I live, so it’s quite a secret. There I stay in close contact with nature: as in my previous work as a geoscientist exploring remote areas and also as an artist which I actually was all my life. So I appreciate the natural diversity and gives them expression by the floral shapes in this painting. The innocence is underlined by the deer in the foreground of the rather abstract painting. I can’t deny the influence of Peter Doig in this work.
