“Calligraphy”
A picture is worth a thousand words. - This calligraphy is slightly reminiscent of graffiti and also perhaps pop art; but it is quite different. The images are modern painted in acrylic with spatula on canvas. The letters and colors are used in such a way that you are reminded of the word just by looking at it. I call them "Picchiography"
A group of 3 or 4 "Picchiographies" look interesting, for example in an office or meeting room, a hallway or a youth room....

“Space”
Behind the word SPACE is nothing but gray and some red-purple light. Cool colors. The idea of space in space.

“Race”
Red Ferraris and blue BMWs race up the hill. The word RACE lends itself well to picchiography.

Nr. 54 Picchiography
“Hot”
You can burn your fingers there. The "O" radiates great heat. - Of course, because "HOT" means nothing other than hot.

“Kiss”
A burning kiss. - Here are no limits to the fantasies...

Nr. 22 Picchiography
“Sex”
The Picchiography SEX inspires. At least it should. The strong red and black and the thickly applied textured color emphasize this effect. You can see how color and technique charge the short word with energy.

“Love”
The Picchiography LOVE I painted in warm pastel tones, such as light red, ocher and a touch of turquoise. It invites sympathy - and of course love.

“Cool”
I perceive blue as a cold color. So it was clear that the word COOL had to be painted in blue.

“Stress”
There are always new situations, the daily up and down, inner turmoil and worry. In STRESS, therefore, there are small and large letters and each is painted with slightly different palette knife strokes. The whole spectrum of color tones is present.
