The Quiet Condensation
I did not plan these works.
I began—and I stayed.
As always, I did not know what would emerge.
As with all my works, I let myself drift.
I placed lines, allowed forms to take shape,
responded to what was already there.
In my earlier works, much was more open.
Circles, waves, flowing movements—
many forms that could connect without committing.
In this series, something has changed.
The lines have become clearer.
The forms align themselves.
Relationships no longer simply arise—they demand something.
It is less about expansion,
more about condensation.
Less about movement,
more about the moment in which everything is decided.
My previous images were light.
Open, almost playful.
These here are tighter, quieter, denser.
There were moments when I wanted to stop,
because it was “good” and because it was not “good.”
I did not know—was it enough?
Is this all that fills my image?
Is this all my soul has to say?
And at the same time, there was this quiet feeling:
There is still something more.
The most difficult part was not the painting,
but enduring it.
Not resolving things immediately,
not going back,
but staying where it becomes uncertain.
For me, the series “The Quiet Condensation” is a movement:
from emergence to decision.
From an open space
to a point where something becomes clear.
The final piece had not really been planned.
I only knew: something was still missing.
And I had to follow it.
Perhaps these works are not only about
what can be seen,
but about what happens
when one no longer avoids oneself.
