This window in Cádiz breathes karma. I like this colour palette with the carmine red window, black bars, pastel yellow wall, and the greys with the fine line of golden sapphire. Clean, safe and secure in the quietness of siesta time.

This is an artistic impression of the natural rainforest being wiped off the map. The pristine Amazon canopy – and the entire ecosystem with hundreds of millions of individuals (animals, plants, fungi) – gets lost and dies. Biodiversity is brought to zero, with no change of discovery.
Human societies are like hurricanes. They destroy everything in their path.
I know we sit, watch and reflect on this loss from our chairs made from the wood of these forests. We seem to be trapped by ourselves. Or is there a way out?

Being part of the canopy of the forest is relevant for every tree. It is the way to maximise photosynthesis and, therefore, the production of sugars, the basic building materials for the entire ecosystem. It is the place in the forest to be – “Each tree is essential. It is part of The Empire of the Sun” (quote by Professor Roelof Oldeman†, 2021). The food chain starts here.
From a remote-sensing perspective, this art expression tells the story of how the fight for light looks like. Every inch is used. The natural rainforest’s biodiversity can be sensed from this eagle’s view, an art impression.

With snow and rain on our December paths and lanes, this summer shade is a hope for better days. You can almost sense the warm breeze.

The Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch are home to me. I visited them so many times from childhood on. These impressive mountains each have their own character and style. You actually need all your skills to climb them.
Here, as a painting in early autumn – and without the world of human interference – from Männlichen’s perspective.
I dedicate this painting to my parents and my daughters, who are highly connected with them.
