When the pandemics starts affecting the whole world and routines, I realized that this time brings up all topics I am circling around in the last years: Love and relationships, politics and power, cruelty and inequality. Since over a year, I use Instagram to nearly daily show my latest art - a realtime artistic comment on what's going on in the world. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny but always dedicated to our biggest inner strenght as people that can help us out of everything - creativity is widening perspectives on how we look upon the world around us,
This Portfolio shows some of my "Corona art" that I will exhibit virtually later this year also!
The shutdown view. I've never been to New York but this town was THE town that shows the sad emptyness like no one else. An old lady and her grieve on getting older.

“Karneval der anderen Art (The other carnival)”
It feels like war sometimes on the street, right? I try to think about it as a mask carneval. Sometimes it works.

An evergreen topic - my own male gender and it's objectification of women. Still too many out there!

“Argwöhnisches Betrachten (suspicious look)”
In this pandemic, the other became a potential death angel. Does he oder she have it? This was one of my first corona-related art work back in March 2020 and you see what bothered me most: the impact of social (sic!) distancing.

“Was gerade nicht geht (What's not possible anymore)”
A crowd. Something, most people didn't think of before Corona. Now ... well. I'm afraid we will never start to feel good with too much people around us.
