“SEGMENT ART”

Picchio's style is like this world, like the cities, like the forest, like the newspaper columns... but still something special.

The Segment Art style of my artworks, which I have developed over the past few years, clearly runs through all the different abstract and also partly figurative themes and has become my trademark. 


Everywhere we encounter impressions in segments. For example, old, nested villages, the backdrop of modern big cities like New York, Hong Kong or even Frankfurt, etc. Houses built close together look like segments. Warehouses where wood, boards etc. are stored as well as storage racks and some steel constructions also convey a segment-like structure. Anyone who has a lot to do with stock market prices or sales statistics will be familiar with the bar charts and price lists that are shown in vertical segments. Even the beech forest in winter is reminiscent of segments. 


I have made this segment division my style. I call it segment art. My paintings are mostly divided into vertical segments, as are my new painted "beams", square beams that can also be called stelae or columns and put together to form group segments (installations) - or leaned against the wall. 


I know the practice and make my enormous creativity and my urge to implement available to art and corporate art. For me, implementation is part of the creative process. It corresponds to my ability not only to see the superficial or the whole, but also to deal with the detail.


I was born for art and now I can really develop myself. Actually, I always wanted to be an artist. When I was young, I had to turn down a scholarship to study at a university of the arts for family reasons. I had been offered it as a prize for the best works in an art exhibition.


I love colours, clear colours. That's why I don't mix the colours, but bring them into and on top of each other directly onto the canvas or wood and steel construction. Only in the eye of the beholder do the colours flow together. -It is exciting to look at my works from very close up to see the structure of the spatula process and the colours.
