Original serigraph on pattern, title "Tea Time", from 1995, e.a., signed, format framed 71 x 101 cm. The motif shows, among other things, the balancing game of two turtles on a seesaw. The following page shows a double picture, two watercolors (also with pencil on the right), on parchment paper, signed, format with frame 54 x 39 cm. He usually deliberately leaves out the turtles' feet to reinforce the impression of slowness. The artist studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart and Vienna and gained international experience overseas. From 1990 to 1995 his residence and studio were in Antwerp. He is the recipient of renowned awards (e.g. Villa Romana Prize / Florence, Erich Heckel Prize and Lovis Corinth Prize). He also held visiting professorships at the art academy in Bremen and Stuttgart. The exhibitions can no longer be counted. His works are in numerous public collections. Incidentally, the turtle motif appears more often with him, even in very large-format works. His quote fits in with this: "The turtle moves slowly, it has the slowness of drinking tea... But its slowness, its time, are the real secret of its success."
