Who am I?
Yes....who am I?
When I think a little more deeply about that question, I realize that it is not so easy to answer.
Some people would tell me their name or what kind of work they do, that they are daddy or mommy, etc., etc.
But even a list of all these things still does not give a complete picture of who or what you are.
Not all events and/or concepts with which we can identify as human beings are who we are.
Doing and being are also fundamentally very different.
What I can say with conviction is the following.
My name is Django and I "am" an artist!
The button below takes you to a short story I wrote.
It is a story about a random morning of a random young man.
What you subsequently take from that or what you think of it is up to you.
But perhaps it says more about me than if I were to write about myself here.
Don't feel like reading? Then just skip it and read more about my work below.
What I can tell you a bit more about are my artworks ; that way, you will naturally get to know me a little better.
I taught myself to paint; everything I create is the result of experimenting, trying things out, making mistakes, falling and getting back up. I believe that education is a distraction, because in my eyes, only a person's own unique expression matters. As little as possible influenced by hypes, money, popular trends, or the mannerisms of others. My growth as a person comes first in my life. And my work grows with me. It evolves, as it were, just like me. Sometimes that happens very gradually and sometimes very abruptly, but it never stands still. I paint primarily abstract.
I enjoy working with strong contrasts and bright colors. My inspiration for these paintings comes directly from my own inner world. A feeling I experience at that moment, or perhaps from something I have gone through. I always paint with music. I express the feeling I get from it onto the canvas. Sometimes it is a very clear image visible within myself, but much more often it is something that emerges gradually while I paint, intuitively. I apply the paint in a way that feels right to me at that moment. Each layer inspires me to apply the next, and so an image slowly takes shape.
Shadow painting
It is a style I discovered not so long ago. Just as I use my own shadow side to become lighter and grow as a person, in this style I also use shadow to lighten colors or to bring them more or less to the forefront. By adding shadow to the base of the painting in specific places, I can also create interesting forms. These paintings are often somewhat more organic and sometimes appear almost 3D. The background of these works is almost always black instead of white. The process feels like a perfect combination of reason and intuition. These paintings invite you to look at them longer and take the observer on a journey.
For this, I primarily use bright colors that, through combinations and the use of shadow and light, almost light up from the canvas. To me, these works feel like the unstable preliminary stage of solid matter, in which the building blocks of reality arrange themselves to take on a specific form. It is a manifestation on the edge of emergence in physical reality.
I only create independent work.
Specific dimensions may be open for discussion.
