Which woodcut characteristics make it your favorite technique?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Woodblock printing is the oldest of all printing techniques and wood embodies nature and naturalness – both together have fascinated me from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you get your inspiration for motifs from? Can you recommend sources?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The intuitive and at the same time very conscious and systematic play with color is the real theme of all my work regardless of technique and working method \u2014 the woodcut offers me the ideal stage for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woodcuts embody more than any other technique my search for the essential, for timeless images. The works emerge from an initially consciously sought chaos in a very slow process in which the works undergo one metamorphosis after another, color by color, printing block by printing block, \u00bbwork in process\u00ab, until the sound of the colors and the rhythm of the lines and surfaces convince me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which woodcut artists do you find particularly interesting?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t have and didn\u2019t have any actual role models in woodblock printing and for that very reason, I felt and still feel very free in dealing with this technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
