What do your paintings evoke in the viewer?
I think the best thing is when someone can’t formulate exactly what fascinates them. I love it when my pictures work visually. It results in a range of impressions, where many people see something bright and light in the pictures, while others see them as dark and depressive. I find that very exciting.
To conclude, what’s next for you and your work? Are there any other projects we can look forward to?
Absolutely! I don’t know if I’m allowed to reveal it yet, but we’re currently working hard on an analogous Traube magazine which tells stories about the Traube, and the first edition is scheduled for autumn. In addition, the hotel is coming in spring 2023 – there, my focus is on all the signage. Fortunately, the Traube will be at my side for a while. It’s very cool to be able to design everything for a client. Things are also moving forward in terms of art and I’m already looking forward to the exhibition at the Werdenberger Kleintheater fabriggli theatre this September.
Thank you Adrian for this fascinating conversation.
