THE PRIVATE GALLERY POSSESSES WORKS AS EARLY AS 1957. IT IS FROM THE PERIOD, WHEN THE ARTIST FIRST ATTEMPTED TO PAINT WITH OILS ON CANVAS, WHICH BECAME THE DOMINANT MEDIA UNTIL TODAY. AT 13 HE MADE A COPY OF SPITZWEG, THEN FOLLOWED A SERIES OF NATURALISTIC LANDSCAPES. THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO DEPART FROM THIS COMMON STYLE WAS MADE AT THE AGE OF 18 IN 1962, WHEN A TYPICAL HUMAN FORM MADE ITS DEBUT. IT WAS LATER DEVELOPED FURTHER IN PARIS, WHERE A WHOLE SERIES WAS CREATED. LACKING WAS STILL A DEFINITE COLOUR PALLETTE.

LATER ON, THE PAINTER'S OBJECTIVE WAS TO WORK ON THEMES RATHER THAN JUST INDIVIDUAL CANVASES.

HIS TYPICAL AND PERSONAL STYLE DEVELOPED FROM A UNIQUE HUMAN FORM AND A PALLETTE INFLUENCED BY HIS SURROUNDINGS OF A WORLD OF PROTEAS AND FINBOS.

A FURTHER CHANGE OCCURED AROUND 1986, WHEN THE FIRST PHILOGRAPHIC WORK MADE ITS DEBUT. (TROMBOME AND GREENHORN) THE CONCEPT WAS A NATURAL EXTENTION TO HIS THEOLOGICAL STUDIES, YET ONLY THE HUMAN PROBLEM WAS PORTRAYED. THE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS CAME ONLY 20 YEARS LATER, WHEN THE CONCEPT BECAME THERAPEUTIC. IN THE YEARS 2006-2009 WHOLE SETS OF PHILOGRAPHIC ART WERE CREATED, WHICH LED EVENTUALLY TO THE PUBLICATION OF THE BOOK. IT RESULTED IN A SUPURB THERAPEUTIC TOOL.

ANOTHER PROJECT THAT EVOLVED FROM A FEW VISITS TO SWITZERLAND WAS THE CREATION OF A SERIES CALLED 'NEO APPENZELL'
