a melancholic atmosphere
zhhhhhhhh neon spray
three thick dark grey brush marks
one giant light grey
sprinkling
pouring
turning the painting
WOAHHHH a quick, fat, green- greyish line
a shaky, fine, sensitive, white line
whilst making one the brush keeps falling out of my hand leaving traces
a small yellow dot
and another
pink

i draw a photo from the internet or an object i’m interested in

how would it look like if the world would perish now?
CHAOS, VISUAL HIGHLIGHT

then i take a brush to overpaint the whole
an image formation becomes visible
looks like underwater
weird corals, wing-hands, slices of a cactus, a half of a rabbit

what does the painting say now?
ORGANISE ME, GIVE ME A MEANING
the painting is fucking annoying

i am sitting and talking with my painting for hours
what do you want, what do you want me to give you, what do you think about this or that proposal?
are you confident now, or do you want even more?
communication works via the brush
BUT NOT LIKE THAT, says the painting annoyingly, this was far too harsh UNDO IT!
patience, patience, patience

today, tomorrow, yesterday
