Drawing
The ordered chaos
To me, this seems to be a fitting umbrella term for this art of drawing.
Drawing structured recurring, similar and sometimes quite different patterns in a wide variety of shapes has a calming effect.
I also like the fact that I don't have to have a clear picture in mind at the beginning of what I want to achieve in the end. I can just start and see where it takes me.
Circles
It's like seeing the world through a whole lot of soap bubbles.
If you look at a soap bubble from very close, you also see quite a few dynamic color patterns.
Here, the main thing that changes is the content. Black and white I find simply beautiful for this art of drawing.
Treble clef
Music is one of my greatest passions.
I like to just listen to classical music or even solfeggio frequencies and do something relaxing with it.
So I fall into a wonderful trance.
Leaves
But if you look closely, many more details stand out.
The inspiration comes from the forest, where I like to walk.
If you open your eyes there and walk through attentively, you will see flowers, water drops, tree trunks, spider webs, signposts and much more besides.
The more attentively you look, no matter what and where, the greater the variety.
Lucky Card
In the stores I always stand for ages until I can decide on one of the countless cards.
That's why I started drawing lucky charm cards myself.
Wolf
Two of my nieces love wolves.
And so I decided to draw this one as my first animal experiment.
Squares
Remember the old tiles on the walls from the 70s?
Turn old into new.
Mushrooms
When my sisters were teenagers, magic mushroom designs were more common than they are today (I think the reason is obvious).
But since I liked them so much, my drawing binders at school were also full of them.
When I found them once again, I was quite amazed that the teachers never said anything or asked where I got the inspiration for such mushrooms.
Mushrooms not only look beautiful. Their biology is also highly interesting.
And so I still like to draw them today.
