Introduction
Welcome
to my Exhibition!
"Amazonia
por la vida" is an art project of mine as support for
Amazonia. I had ended my project prematurely in 2019 because of the
more and more spreading burning rainforest in the Amazon region.
In
my works I try to express the beauty and fragility of Amazonia, its
biodiversity, its rivers, rainforests, plants , blossoms, animals,
indigenous peoples, the guardians of Amazonia,
along with the pollution and contamination of water and earth, acts of arson, violence, the continuing brutal destruction of nature and the habitat, and the living conditions of the indigenous peoples, animals and the rainforest.
along with the pollution and contamination of water and earth, acts of arson, violence, the continuing brutal destruction of nature and the habitat, and the living conditions of the indigenous peoples, animals and the rainforest.
During
my research I had learned more and more of Amazonia and had included
additional issues in my concept. But I had to shorten the
concept of my project in the last years several times.
Amazonia
is so complex so unique in its biodiversity, that I cannot paint all
animals, plants, and cannot create paintings to everything what has
become close and important to me.
But
I will continue to create paintings in support of Amazonia.
My
works shall speak for all those who can not speak and for those who
are not heard, for the present and for the future of the indigenous
tribes and their children of Amazonia, for all life in this beautiful
part of Mother Earth.
Protecting
the Amazon is essential. Not just because of its biodiversity. The
rainforest has the greatest impact on the global climate and thus on
all life on earth. The indigenous peoples live in harmony with
nature. They are the best guardians of the rainforest and water. I
ask you to support them and to support, defend, protect them against
all hostility and violent attacks. - however you are able to do so.
We
all need the rainforest, the green lung of planet Earth. For our life
and for the life of our future generations!
My
target was and still is to present my project work in exhibitions, as
support for Amazonia. It would be great to show the exhibitions
at places where many people can see it, seven days a week,
without paying an entrance fee.
But
the coronovirus came in-between.
Now
you can stay in dialogue with my works here as often as you want and
whenever.
I
wish you an enjoyable encounter with my work.

Thanks
First of all I want to thank two people for their generosity and appreciation. Birgitt and Klaus B., you made it possible for me to set up my studio. You gave me a home for many years and a place where I could work optimal - and the last seven years of this time on my Amazonia project. I am grateful for your gorgeous support! Thank you both so much!
Dear Günther, I am deeply grateful for all your great, wonderful support, for your appreciation and for your generosity! Thank you so much, that you had enabled me for decades, to buy my favorite colors and special papers to affordable prices. You always gave me the best advice with your professional knowledge. Without "your" colors I couldn't have painted most of my pictures like this! Especially with my Amazon project. "Your" colors gave me unexpected, diverse possibilities to express myself.
I had planned to show my "Amazonia por la vida" exhibition in Mannheim first. How I would like to have welcomed you and your wife Monika at the vernissage there! But it should not be, covid19 prevented it. And before I could publish my pictures online, I had to learn that you had passed away. You were always encouraging, you never gave up in your life. You were a wonderful human being. I thank you for all our encounters. Rest in peace!
My Thanks go to my dear friends, for your great appreciation of my work and for supporting my Amazonia-paintings online, since I published the first ones in 2012. Furthermore I like to thank you for your loyalty, for all our dialogues, for your words and opinions. It means very much to me.

I am deeply grateful to you for keeping me inspired, for your encouragement, for all your great support and for let me smile even in hard times, for all our dialogues, for your loyalty and for loving my paintings!
