A series of compositions that I have painted in acrylic on paper. With these pictures, I wanted to create a "color space" that reminds the viewer of a situation or a feeling and brings these back to life. I deliberately avoided any figurative representation. The memory should be awakened with the help of the colors and structures. I painted this work with artists' acrylic paints (Amsterdam and Lucascryl) on acid-free and non-ageing paper.
