My very first original minimalistic abstract painting from 1986 (44 cm x 45 cm) - Part One - Island In White - Loneliness ... nicely fitting the theme of the current ArtStyleArt contest.
No man / woman is an island... we cannot exist alone. I am now 59 years old, reflecting on a long life filled with relationships - some successful and some not ... sometimes getting hurt, sometimes hurting others...
Exactly thirty-one years ago - my first humble (baby) steps in abstract art - to call it a work of art would be a bit much ... but it still is a part of me as an artist. It is displayed in my mother's living room in Trier, Germany ... next to artwork she collected over the years (by more famous German painters, I have to add).
