• In his expressive portraits and figure depictions, the artist creates an often mysterious, mystical-romanticizing or even disturbing atmosphere by means of different, partly shadowy and blurred layers of paint.
• In this work offered here the emotional intensity of the screaming female figure is also reflected by the energetic brushstrokes.
