Intuitive Art and Creating Fairies and Mermaids with Clay

Hi everybody,

This time I would like to tell you something about my more unusual work. As you probably know, intuitive art can be practiced in any medium. About ten years ago I had a period in which I have created a lot with clay. Gosh, time flies. I made little figures of fairies and mermaids and a whole enchanted landscape for them to reside in. Soon my focus switched back to intuitive painting, drawing and mixed media. I created some clay beads for making jewelry later on but after that I completely lost touch with crafting with clay. Sometimes I feel drawn back to it but my frequent moving the last few years hasn't allowed me to assemble my materials back together and set up a space for working with this particular medium. I hope to find the opportunity to get back into it some day. Until then, I thought I would share my creations from the fairy realm. Everything emerged from the same intuitive process as my drawings and paintings.

Why Not Using Mystical Black in Intuitive Painting?

Hi everybody,

In this blog post I would like to share how my attitude towards the color black, technically a neutral or a non-color, changed throughout my life. Consequently this evolution influenced the use of black in my intuitive and spiritual painting and in my artwork in general. I have studied the question over the years and I concluded that the use of black in art is a rather controversial topic, especially in watercolor painting. Some think that black straight out of the tube or pan does not belong in a watercolor painting at all. Others plead for mixing lively blacks and again some people swear by the use of pure lamp black or payne's grey. Although not as often, the question gets also debated in acrylic and oil painting.
