Picture "Elfs Wedding" (2023)

"Elfs Wedding" is the first work in my "Cosmic" series, which shows excerpts, images or impressions from our cosmos that most people don't see in everyday life. Elves are definitely one of them. There is no question in my mind that they exist in our cosmos. Perhaps they are not visible to everyone, perhaps they are more perceptible to some. But they are there. So "Elf's Wedding" fits in wonderfully with my big goal of bringing the unconscious, the invisible onto the canvas, of uniting the material from our physical world with the spiritual. Or the material with the subtle. This is shown here in delicate, pastel tones, applied in a cloudy, powdery manner, connected by a network of fine craquelures.

About C-I-Heinrich

C. I. HEINRICH // Panta Rhei - My pictures are created in free flow My free, intuitive way of working opens up spaces, parallel worlds, universes, even in the imagination of the viewer.

Panta Rhei - everything is always in a state of flux - is the big headline above my work. By this I also mean the goal or the state of drawing from the free, intuitive flow when working. Just like life itself, nature, the whole universe. From the perspective of quantum physics, this can also be chaotic at times. That's why I paint very freely, non-representationally, without intention. Preferably in deep concentration or contemplation. When it's quiet in my head, the "flow" comes. Then I intuitively reach for paints, brushes or chalks, paint, spread or scribble on them, sometimes in large sweeps, sometimes in fine strokes or scratches, let them flow into each other, contemplate, paint over, combine surfaces with scribbles, create contrast between many glazing layers, empty surfaces and dense application, penetrate and combine everything. I work with a creative material mix of pigments, emulsions, acrylic paints, marble and stone powders, plaster, ash, chalks, charcoal, lead and colored pencils. Motifs from the unconscious, from the depths of my soul, flow together with inspirations from the material world. In my case, mainly from nature: the almost infinite expanse of a horizon and perhaps the freedom associated with it. Or the depth of an ocean that can only be guessed at, the water of which always symbolizes dream worlds. In my pictures, the boundaries between the physical and spiritual worlds become blurred, making visible what does not exist in the material world. For example, the world of the gods and goddesses, the nymphs and fairies, the myths and stories that surround them, the subtlety that surrounds them, the apparent invisibility, the transparency and also: their wandering between the spiritual and the material world, that you can "sense, feel" them rather than see or hear them, each in their own way. This free way of working opens up spaces, parallel worlds, universes, even in the viewer's imagination.
