Several categories of portrait painting from the beginning till the end of the 1990s

Portraits VI
portraits from c. 1990-92
Working with ink on rice paper. Elements of Chinese philosophy, especially calligraphy, are integrated.

Portraits V
portraits from c. 1988 – 90
Overpainted prints, partially overdrawing or distorting the original portrait.

Portraits IV
portraits from c. 1985 – 88
The works are mostly in A4 format and tend towards abstraction or expressionism.

Portraits III
portraits from c. 1984 – 86
Large format works, painted with Indian ink on rice paper and partly using my own techniques.

Portraits II
portraits from the early China years 1978 – 85
This creative period is still strongly influenced by Western concepts and techniques. The portraits show Chinese, but the techniques are still largely European.
