IMPRESSIVE BUILDINGS IN THE WORLD
I have been travelling a lot - professionally and privately ... got to know many countries, cities & cultures... always with the camera in hand... always with an eye for IMPRESSIVE BUILDINGS IN THE WORLD. For several years I have been painting these buildings... on the iPad with many different digital pens & brushes... in bright, cheerful colors.
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain
,In Bilbao, modern art and architecture meet narrow colourful alleys, cozy squares and magnificent pincho pubs. But above all is the Guggenheim Museum built by Frank Gehry in the 90s, the most spectacular museum building I have ever seen. The works of the modern artists in the museum are certainly outstanding. But the avant-garde architecture of the museum with the round shapes and the shiny facades is simply incomparable and overwhelming.’

Taj Mahal in Agra, Indien
,Sunset at the Taj Mahal: a fascination that will never be forgotten! This fairytale-like architectural masterpiece was built of marble, completely decorated with gemstones and engravings, in the 17th century by a Mogul emperor in memory of his late wife. The mausoleum, one of the 7 wonders of the world and a world heritage site, is unique due to its impressive size, its elegant beauty, the perfect symmetry and the reflection in the water basin… and in the evening sun the white marble shines in different red shades: a lasting memory.‘

Lady Liberty & Freedom Tower in New York City, USA
,New York City: for me always incredibly fascinating, vibrant & inspiring! The world-famous Lady Liberty at sunrise in front of the illuminated Manhattan skyline and the glass Freedom Tower at Ground Zero, where the Twin Towers -where I often worked- were destroyed on 9/11: both symbols of their time, which have impressed me greatly.‘
