Premio Combat Prize

This painting is realized in Acrylic Facet Technique.In this method on the end the acrylic painting will be partially or completely covered with a filmy second membrane of “White” which will be transparently applicated in shape of irregular facet areas with fine brush. Thus a subdued shine of the colours behind the “White” is arisingsimilar as on glas windows. I call these paintings “Facet Paintings”, the technique “Facet Technique”.The difficulty in this technique is that the filmy ,transparent “White” can only be controlled and steadily applicated in the frame of a limited facet area. That means that the surface of the painting must be covered with a multitude of facets of different shape and size.Curriculum Vitae1940 born in Nueremberg / Germany1959 Graduated High School1960 – 1965 Study at Technical University Munich1967 Begin of Painting Activities1971 – 1973 Artistic Education by Altschäffel in Schweinfurtsince 1974 Art Information Trips to France, Spain, Italy, USA, Israel, China, India 2002 Design of the Citizen Medal for the Municipality of the Town of Bad Neustadt since 2006 member of the European artist group “Colectivo Cillero” since 1966 living in Bad Neustadt / Saale , GermanyPersonal ExhibitionsAugsburg , Bad Neustadt , Bamberg , Berlin , Erlangen , Essen , Karlsruhe , Luxembourg , Munich , Nueremberg , Regensburg , Stuttgart , WuerzburgMembership-- „Kunstverein“ Bad Neustadt-- European artist group „Colectivo Cillero“Public Purchasing-- „Bezirksamt“ Berlin / Neukölln-- Siemens AG Bad Neustadt-- „Kulturkreis“ Siemens Berlin-- „Bayerische Beamten Versicherungen“ MunichLiterature1986-- „Schöpfungslandschaften“, Eulen Verlag , Friburg 1988-- „Faszination des Aquarells“ , arte-factum-Verlag , Nueremberg 2005-- „Indirekte Malerei“ , Palette Verlagsgesellschaft mbH , Koblenz International Participations2006 -- 15.
