A curator from Creative Concept Inc. explained that my pictures seem almost too modest and only on closer inspection do they shine and create a dreamy vision in the viewer that resonates with the viewer for a long time. My style is both contemporary and classic and I have developed a very personal style that is completely different from other realistic painters, but which nevertheless has its place in the art scene and also seems familiar.

According to the viewer, you are sucked into the picture, you stand there and are fascinated by the colors and the depth, the details.

I started with velvet paintings in 2006. Since the velvet is "alive", you have to work very precisely. The color has to be worked into the velvet. You also have to take into account that the color is absorbed by the velvet. This technique is very rare because it is very complex and demanding.

My artist name goes back to a short marriage with an Egyptian man and since the name also invites you to dream, I found it suitable as an artist name and kept it.

Description

This oil painting features a striking portrait of a horse. The horse's head and neck are shown in profile, with the animal's dark, reddish-brown coat contrasting against the dark green background. The horse's face is detailed, with an expressive eye that exudes intelligence and gentleness. The mane is depicted in dark, flowing strokes that convey movement and texture. Light and shadow have been skillfully used to highlight the horse's contours and muscles, giving the portrait remarkable depth and three-dimensionality. The background is made up of various shades of green with some yellow accents that may suggest grasses or flowers. This creates a natural environment for the horse without distracting from its majestic appearance. The composition focuses entirely on the noble animal, capturing its dignity and beauty. The painting exudes a calm, almost meditative atmosphere. Overall, this oil painting is a captivating depiction of a horse, capturing both the physical beauty and spirit of the animal. The oil on velvet technique is very rarely used because it is very time-consuming and difficult.
