"Look What We Have Here"

Academic Painter of Fine Art / Art Historian

We are in a historic deep,

cool and airy wine cellar of a European Monastery in the 19th century, in which you notice authentic details and equipment.

Brother John (on

the right) was asked to bring the wine out of the cellar for the supper time. Of course, he had to carefully taste some wines to pick out the right

sort for their meal. This responsible job made him slightly sleepy so he just wanted to take a little nap, but asleep he fell.

As Brother John

and the wine were missed by the other brothers, Brother Bartholo was sent down to look what is taking Brother John so long and, of course, he found

him happily dozing. Instead of waking him up, brother Bartholo told on him and called Brother Henry, the Prior of the Monastery to the

scene.

Observing their faces, we see that compared to the looks of brother Bartholo, Prior Henry does not deny good food and wine too, and his

mime reveals that he feels for Brother John’s situation, but now has the obligation to be strict and cannot approve such faux pas.

While I was

university student in Germany, I also studied Art History and traveled through Europe to visit historic landmarks, museums, cathedrals and famous

monasteries. I often took the opportunity to rent a boarding room in some of the famous monasteries because you could learn so much about the history

and the various fields of expertise, - especially the one that fascinated me: The making of wine and champagne.

For ages, the brothers in their

different orders have represented the highest level of culture. They were the keepers of science, education, inventions, literature, fine art, music

and developers of world famous champagne and excellent wines.

During wine tasting in their cellars, I was surrounded by historic tools and

equipment, hand carved casks and had wonderful talks with the cellarers.

These lasting impressions inspired me to preserve certain situations

in the life of the Masters of Winemaking.

The play of the feature in my works tells whole stories. Each mime in their faces, their gestures,

their hands and fingers and many more details, bring life into these captured moments. Now and then, I inject a little touch of humor in circumstances

of their life; after all, they are only human.

The artistic quality of my painting contains historic details and authentic tools the winemakers

worked with.

I want my paintings to be entertaining, conversational pieces for the art collectors and at the same time to be very

decorative.
