Aurora - The image of her image

Aurora is not only a book of intuitive poetry but also contains a range of artworks. The artworks were created in parallel with the writing of the texts. The cover depicts the shape of a woman's face, which, like all the other motifs in the collection, is designed in freehand line drawing. Her wavy hair falls over her face and covers her eyes, revealing only her lips. These are strongly accentuated with a pinkish tint, which I wanted to express all her passion, dedication and the versatile breadth of her appearance. The foliage that wraps around her head and out of her into a blossoming that grows and spreads effortlessly out of her freedom, out of all that she is.

Like the texts in the book, the motif of the woman's face reflects the strength that is born in the depths of love, so the portrait of the woman embodies that inner inexorable force, but also a softness that vividly reflects her commitment to herself.

This painted woman is me!

That is why I can say that the whole body of artworks tell the story of my uncompromising commitment to all that I am. Out of this devotion, I have presented the texts in the book in colorful compositions that are expressive and reminiscent of the Northern Lights, the Aurora. The line drawings are placed in this abstract environment in such a way that they blend in. But they remain the focus of attention. In this way, I have achieved compositions in the paintings that create a depth of a unique dimension.

In the artworks of the poetry collection Aurora, I have depicted myself. Once I portrayed myself in the shape of an animal, another time in the form of a flower and finally in the form of a female archetype such as Venus and the Mona Lisa.
