Without the ferries live in the harbour is unthinkable. It’s not only a tourist attraction one can take along the river but a very important ship for commuters to get to the other side. In the winter time the red ferry »Elbmile« gives such a nice contrast to the white and blue of the rivers ice.

With pastel painting l have found the ideal medium to artistically and creatively transform these special conditions of illumination. I love to spread pigment on paper without anything else in between.
Pastel paintings come alive when you put different layers of colour on the canvas. This is a great artistic stimulus for me. Which combination of colour pigments can be used to achieve precisely the effect of light and shade that I want? During the artistic process, layers of colour are continually built up and removed until the light situation has been captured and the picture can unfold its unique illuminating power.
