This work shows an atmospheric dense landscape with light on the horizon in pink and red tones. My series Diurnals/ Taggebete is painting on acid-free 300g Hahnemühle watercolor board, which was created on a daily basis for over 100 days. In the daily ritual, like a prayer, I tried to extract the moods surrounding me, their essence and condense them into a mood painting. They are perhaps to be considered equivalent to the poetic form of Japanese haikus, which also mostly have contemplations of nature as their subject. The decisive factor for me was that I wanted to convey a positive mood despite all the negative, sometimes disturbing news that reaches us every day. That is why my works in this series also bear the subtitle "Pray for peace". Technically, they are painted acrylic and tempera, sometimes combined with oil paints.
