"What would a work of art be without viewers??
Art provokes strong feelings and stimulates thought processes.
A work of art may meet with approval or rejection.
It can awaken longing, melancholy, joy, horror, fear, sadness or simply a sense of beauty.
How art affects the individual cannot be explained.
There are no rules for that."
RALF SCHABACK
Artist
My life has always been characterized by creativity.
I draw my energy from hikes in the nature.
Artistic education
I learnt my artistic skills mainly self-educated as well as with well-known artists at home and abroad.
Image content
My motifs move mostly on the abstract surrealistic level.
Thereby I let realistically drawn motives flow into each other and try to give things new connections.
Painting techniques
I work with various painting materials, such as beeswax, oil, pastel chalk, gouache, acrylic and translucent colours.
Sometimes I also combine different painting materials in the same picture, such as acrylic, pastel and oil colours.
