Nice Paintings. Series Lotus

In 2005 while living once more in the South of France, this time in Nice,  a change from the vertical to the horizontal took place. The daily sight of the Mediterranean, the stony beach without any vegetation, the  endless sky, let me divide the picture into three areas. It was like a spread on the horizontal to infinity.

The result was the series "Nice paintings" (peintures niçoise). 

Lotus as a name appeared. Lotus is the symbol of spiritual knowledge. In Tantra the

Lotus flower stands for the feminine element. 

Cascade Lotus Mediterranean  has the size to immerse physically into the deep blue of the expanding sea. 

In Kandinsky's sense, I use colours as the language of the soul. Colurs have a direct access to the collective subconscious. They fullfill the hope of being limitless.
