The Seven Summits, also known as "Die sieben Gipfel," represent the highest peaks on each of the seven traditional continents. Conquering these peaks is the ultimate mountaineering challenge. Today, various versions of the challenge exist due to shifting borders and other uncertainties. I've chosen the "1950s Explorer Hackett" version for my project.
The sizes of the paintings vary, displaying the actual size of the mountain.
Denali, North America, 6.190m, Acrylic on canvas, 65x85cm

These paintings were crafted during my time at the art school Belas Artes Ulisboa in Lisbon. Using acrylic paint and texture paste on canvas, I embraced the art of layering and spatula work. Within these canvases, I sought to intertwine the mountains with the diverse perspectives and emotions of mountaineers, bringing their journeys vividly to life.

Venturing out into nature to paint is truly something special. The sun and weather can swiftly shift, allowing for the capture of various lighting conditions within a single artwork.
In this series, I choose smaller formats for easy transport. I got creative in experimentation with surfaces and sizes, using oil paint on both carton paper and canvases. The images are a blend of moments from my home in Detmold and Mülheim and an excursion into the Eifel region, creating a diverse tapestry of artistic exploration.

Getting inspiration from Sumi-E paintings, I've drawn various mountains using black ink. The stark contrast of black ink on white paper serves to portray the mountain for what it truly is: a living monument amidst eternal snow.
