Claude Monet's water lilies, or nymphéas, are so iconic that I was already fed up of them before I could even see them in real and at home in France. I found the best pieces in the Musée Marmottan in Paris, I understood his work best when I visited his Les jardins et Maison de Claude Monet à Giverny in Normandy and I was much less impressed than I thought of his large-format legacy in L'Orangerie in Paris. Monet's nymphéas and garden paintings, especially the very abstract ones, touched me so much that I have to express my enormous enthusiasm and absolute infatuation with technology and colors in my own series of works. The small selection in this collection is determined by an eight-part series on canvas in the large format of 120 x 100 cm, the small-format series created immediately afterwards on formica and the most recent paper collages with China ink.
Other nymphéas could already be seen in the large exhibition "Komm baden! / Let's Have a Bath" at Water Gallery, Berlin, Germany in 2016:

If you do not want to dig around:
Here sometimes Stephan put togehter a small collection of his paintings for your convinience. Either new works he wants to show or issues that have touched him just intensively.
Enjoy.
