I‘m fascinated by everything that illuminates, like a moth that is magically attracted to light.
I have often imagined what a painting would look like if it was illuminated, if the colors could be changed according to the mood. These imaginings gave birth to “Lightart“.

All my paintings are painted with opaque acrylic color on a special form of canvas from the theater.
Currently, my focus is on portraits of people of different cultures, which fascinate me visually. In a darkened room their mystical quality permeates an entire room.

Since the paintings are partially illuminated from behind with LEDs, the white areas between the mostly black and brown patterns remain intentionally unpainted. Thus, the light is clearly visible from the front.
The changeable play of colors can be controlled by an app as the mood takes you.

Through an additional small device hidden under the picture in the frame, it can also be switched on and off without an app.
