When he I somewhere he listens to what words people using, how each words letters, each trigger is used by the person strategically. Often he thinks, deduces, analyses the word, the words whith in this word, and or what are the other words which this word connects with thru little 2 or 3 letter word parts, from all kinds of perspectives. For a day, a week. All day everyday. All though what things, forms, colors, conoations, sexual relief and points are hidden with in a word, or a sound. Which word, which sound, which feeling, is connected to which color, which metaphor, which micro then macro narrative. How people are using the same words. How does the letters look, how does these words are connected with in the view, the architecture, the painting, the advertisement, the context of a situation. He started doing the same with all kinds of things, doors, windows, body parts, products, structures, clothing, animals. What, where are they leading, what are the conoations, what does they represent, how am i reacting at/ on something. Then remodelling where came these triggers/ anchors/ leads. This happens while painting, and around painting.
Artist SEAK Claus Winkler’s work process:
He takes in some level his name be it’s meaning, suggesting he is doing what other, or himself where suggesting him earlier in his life, or in just in time. He works with in his former grandparents house, one of his studios these days, stealing ( the word claus does although includes the German phonetic conoations for showing/ stealing/ thieving) himself from the world painting paintings instead of exhibiting, showing his work in the world. Well he is doing to a degree here digitally.
As a child he saw his grandmother here handling round forms ( kitchen tools/ pottery/ dishes), square forms ( cake/ cookie baking plates / duck/ turkey/ chicken ) baking plates, he these days works with in similar colors all the time square forms ( canvases/ canvas framed over wooden plates/ although a few metal plates ). The material he paints with is similar, food bases, similar texture to paint colors. He heard storys how his family kept a old loyal serving female ( mare) workhorse, on the eastprussian farm, for honor reasons as a milkhorse bringing the milk to the collecting station. He kept a older ex girlfriend as a platonic, serving/ supporting partner/ bottombitch ( street slang)/ backbone/ sidekick.

German artist SEAK Claus Winkler’s Artprocess inspirations, hunches:
With in the individual painting are the different mindsets, attitudes, wishes, dreams, horizons the artist, and or the the painting with in its state are suggesting, manifesting, implieing. He stacks his paintings, works them in rotation. Each rotation round on the painting carousel a singular workstep, a singluar color, a singular technique.
Each day, month, year, a different influence, lots of different influences.
The brush, spraycan, crayon, finger, towel, stick, has different influence how the artist percives the world, his inner world during the process in that moment. Sometimes he breaks with is own painting rules, suggested from the painting his is painting with, or from a trigger anchor grown during the days before fired up thru a context with in a audiobook listening while working, or thru a word/ or a story from a women. The influence often comes although from the all things, the creative chaos, or the cleanliness with in sight of the artist while working. Sometimes he switches like a 1970s spontaneous middleclass interlectual hippie 1 2 3 Impro (visational) theatre in a child infantil like mindset painting with making baby/ children voices. Or he paints a certain part like he has painted that part just in bigger somewhere in the world 10/ 20/ 28 years ago on some train, a wall or for a museum show he was invited to. Or he remembers what he heard something with in a picture, a view has a certain way with psyche. Or he is afraid doing something wrong with that color, while he is too lazy thinking a few seconds longer what to do, & puts the paint where the most unpainted space is, enjoying the charismatic, non aesthetic, non too concious overthinking act.
Art process, inspiration by german artist SEAK Claus Winkler:
What does he wants to say with this ore that painting? Noticed the ‘ sore ‘ between ‘ this or that painting?
The paintings in the picture are painted, still in progress in the house SEAK Claus Winkler became from his grandparents/ grandmother. The houses architecture, the cards given to him, are dictating, or influencing his process. Lots of smallcut rooms, for painting, for storage, result, painting detailed, painting the paintings from boths sides. It saves space, time, energy. In the beginning discovering that painting the backsides ( quite late around 09/ 10ish ) it has the feeling/ idea/ effect, painting without expectations, which equals painting out of the comfort zone, discovering, having fun. Soon painting at the backsides, the playing safe, being afraid doing this ore that, being conservative with in the decision making process with in the painting sets in. A challenge all artists/ creatives/ people are having.
So painting lots of details with in a painting, takes time, takes less resources, demands higher prices, communicates although without gallery/ museums social proof for the easiest mind, the painting is expensive.
A lot small paintings according to a famous german art curator who was visiting the artists studio with a female artcollector friend from a wellknown wealthy family is bad with in the artworld. Well this could be true, but maybe the curator is although a bit of a businessshark too.
The small paintings are comfortable painting in sitting position ( Yes sitting is unhealthy). The detailpainting route was signature trademark from him when painting with his late 1990s early 2000s/ 2010s paintings.
When most peers back then painted in a finishing outlines lasts way, he painted in dutch golden age style from dark to light.
Art process from german artist SEAK Claus Winkler.
They are different ways he is doing his decisions. Most of the time, he worked the last 10 years always with one color, one nuance a time. Using that color with all paintings where there was/ is the other color he it was connecting it with to create a particular feeling, psychological effect. With a certain stoic, rough ingnorance, he ignored on purpose that a color combination has a total different meaning, effect, on the paintings programming effect when it has different position with in the painting. Like a farmer, plowing with his horse going with eastprussian stubbornness thru his acre field lines, he was going thru his works, putting the chosen color to the chosen by psychological reasons fitting other color. He believes that colors are greatest underestimated manipulation trigger/ thing/ tool, equal the the strongest trigger effect on the human/ animal decision makings. he learns a lot from woman. How they use colors with in the everyday life steering the relationships, giving husbands/ boyfriends/ customers/ tricks/ hoes/ pimps/ politicians/ clerks/ family members/ children/ grandchildren/ the illusion they do things on there choice. He did often paint with that color, for afew Days all this paintings with in his studio house where there was although the other matching color on the painting. He started working that way step by step around after circa maybe 2019. when he was already painting a lot with his double sided paper / discounter packaging lot’s cardboard paintings which he started around 2010. Before that it’s was like, ok, lets paint with all paper paintings, just adding pencil style sketches where space is. This was a very boring frustrating process, painting/ drawing for months, just with one technique thru all pieces.
Artprocess:
For german artist SEAK Claus Winkler everything, every person can be a inspiration. The conversations I have with people, some times just a word can give me inspiration showing me a weak spot, or a solution to a thought problem. I deduct that word, from what i know about the implicit effects words are having at reality perception, influencing/ ‚ manipulation ‚ for lack of a better word. Considering something a inspiration is already not knowing where the true little micro primings, pre-primings are coming from which lead to concious declaring something ‚ inspiring ‚. When not knowing what to paint next, rerrange the work in progress paintings with in the studio gives time for reflecting, hearing inside for little hunch what would make sense. The words with in SEAK Claus Winkler are having in a way a sexual excalating, vacuum creating deducting effect, while creating clarity, cleanliness with in people. The little conscious was we all do our little paintings while eating from a plate, with rest of the food, sauce, can be the true inspiration how SEAK Claus Winkler is painting in this way, or that way. Or a color inside has certain sexualcode preference meaning which he learned people from all lifestyles are using concious/ or unconscious. So he unconscious is using it although with certain form. Nature, walks with in nature, or sitting in nature getting in the textures, with colors, with smells can be inspiring. Especial later painting with oil/ acrylics. If he paints for a woman, he goes direct, assuming she wants what she wants without being diplomatic, or being polite pretending to conservative. He paints the painting that the woman gets the most for guys, with the highest social status, which are the most hung, putting in the work, rawdogging, choo choo trains. All these with pure decent innocent abstract painting.
Failures where german artist SEAK Claus Winkler was wrong, or was loosing, fkd up, with in his art process, around his artprocess. Underestimating the powergames, very suddle indirect manipulation women playing with their attire, with words. Spending too much money all around the world on prostitutes ( in Germany cheaper compared to Dubai, or Las Vegas) , taxis, and in restaurants for overcompensating not being financial equal to middleclass, as well as wealthy artbuyers. It would have been way smarter, staying on the ground, keep on buying food at cheap discounters ( supermarkets). All this effected, influenced the art, and the art process. At least later in crippling major lack in finances. Not listening enough, how sounds, connecting with things, colors, words, thoughts, breathe, motion, feeling. Holding my work selling a painting to collector instead selling to a important art museum which wanted the painting. The collector a few years later sold flipped it at auction cause he needed money. Denying the advances from non sexworking beautiful single women ( 9s/ 10s) cause of insecurity, beta male blue pillish mindset. Underestimating how good, and supportive women/ people can be with the right alpha male mindset from the right perspective, and how that influences the art process, the art work
Situations, with in, around, or connected with the art process where german artist SEAK Claus Winkler fxxked up, did. a failure, failed, or had the opposite of success.
Having a lack of appreciation, and creating with these absence ego situation for himself and others thru micro expressions/ energy’s. Weighting 140 kilo, obviously most bodyfat, from emotional overeating, due absence of discipline, not hearing what friends, faily, peers where recommending, and a 1 1/2 year substance abuse, aswell as underestimating the similarity’s in triggers. Painting with oil, acrylics, the paint, the little paint cans, the brushes, the colors, the texture, the nasal stimulations all very similar to food. Making the paintings too cheap for a artbuyer, and not not repacing the overconfidence and sweet success of feeling powerful he was feeling. Which ended up in Millie seconds with in puahing us away from each other. Like a instant mural arrogance bliss, fueled from my site from the realization that with the paintings just sold it i could by working/ middle class standards survive a short time. While for him it was maybe what he consumes with in a day or two. The failure was on mys site. Too cheap prices, being naive, not having my ego emotions with in check, not seperating myself not enough from people emotional, although wanting to have respect on a metaphysical level. And yes being arrogant, and although being needy financial, which inflicts all other levels with in life too.
Lack of presence, due talking too much ( like being on speed ) all the time. Which excluded seeing, getting, understanding of the oneness with in life, the connection between, with in a moment.
Having for years a blindness towards/ regarding the double multi meaning powers with in words.
Enjoying colors, expierencing the color flush, and the feeling of oneness with the self, including the flow state while painting is, with in early childhood are major reasons why SEAK Claus Winkler developed into living, working, being an artist.
Every picture, view, color nuance, form, shape, texture, a different emotion, a other feeling, sweeter, a higher interest like other stimula, like sexuality. Beautiful women, delicious foods, drugs, reading. everything you own, owns you, after a short while. SEAK is owned by finishing all these future masterpieces. All from both sides. Cursed blessing small paintings require often longer while painting in detail takes sharp focus. The richer the details, the greater the challenge to work with fresh ideas during the process. The good thing after the low emotional low, the beginning of the paintings 2010 ish 1 year after partay year rockbottom sobriety, manifested In colours. From these emotional lowering colors, demanding happiness the paintings have grown inline with the artists sobriety, the personal growth, with better colors, true inner healthy happiness colors. Thru the painting rotation years, the healing process, the feelings radiating from the paintings with colors, composition, shapes, although became better. A humbling expierence how long it sometimes is taking working with brush, compared to how efficient spraycans, especial on walls are.
Art process, inspiration by german artist SEAK Claus Winkler:
What does he wants to say with this ore that painting? Noticed the ‘ sore ‘ between ‘ this or that painting?
The paintings in the picture are painted, still in progress in the house SEAK Claus Winkler became from his grandparents/ grandmother. The houses architecture, the cards given to him, are dictating, or influencing his process. Lots of smallcut rooms, for painting, for storage, result, painting detailed, painting the paintings from boths sides. It saves space, time, energy. In the beginning discovering that painting the backsides ( quite late around 09/ 10ish ) it has the feeling/ idea/ effect, painting without expectations, which equals painting out of the comfort zone, discovering, having fun. Soon painting at the backsides, the playing safe, being afraid doing this ore that, being conservative with in the decision making process with in the painting sets in. A challenge all artists/ creatives/ people are having.
So painting lots of details with in a painting, takes time, takes less resources, demands higher prices, communicates although without gallery/ museums social proof for the easiest mind, the painting is expensive.
A lot small paintings according to a famous german art curator who was visiting the artists studio with a female artcollector friend from a wellknown wealthy family is bad with in the artworld. Well this could be true, but maybe the curator is although a bit of a businessshark too.
The small paintings are comfortable painting in sitting position ( Yes sitting is unhealthy). The detailpainting route was signature trademark from him when painting with his late 1990s early 2000s/ 2010s paintings.
When most peers back then painted in a finishing outlines lasts way, he painted in dutch golden age style from dark to light.
How paintings by artist SEAK Claus Winkler develop, evolve, change direction, end up, and progressing can have different ways, attitude, reasons, agendas.
Having a idea maybe from wall painting down by him 10 / 20 years ago in a other country, a legal wallpainting like for example Los Angeles, Sydney, Hongkong, Munich, or Rome, a illegal painted train with in a other country, a participated exhibition in a Museum like kiasma museum , klingspor_museum , national footballmuseum Manchester, museum koenig. which SEAK wants to paint again. Getting inspired by himself.
The painting can develop during the process within a total different direction. As long it looks good. Some time a painting has to lay around a while, to become occupied with different paintings, then working again at the first painting just less conservative, being braver, bolder.
With a different idea, often without ideas, just a different color, a different tool, like different brushes, marker, or just with a different form in mind. A reason why a lot of the paintings from SEAK here a so compilcated, complex, rich in details, is, that they should look high quality although without the marketing magic from a gallery, without the social proof from masterclaquers, gatekeepers, opion leaders. The small paintings are although detailed to bridge possible power games, playing dumb games from art investors, like ‘ the painting is small so it is not expensive, wrong. Small paintings same expensive like big paintings, visible although cause the paintings having masterpiece quality’s. A good thing is the great feeling of surprise, the artist surprising himself how the painting develops. The painting here, started at this side around 2009/2010, progress on both sides, till today. The grey pencil collage sketch in the painting is from a Blackbook ( drawingbook) from SEAK from the late 1990s.
Process:
A lot of times the artist SEAK Claus Winkler integrates all kinds of different from a oldschool classical painting point of view contradicting techniques with in his paintings. Spraypaint, acrylics, brush, oil, marker, pencil, chalk, clear coat, tape, etc. he is doing that since the late 1990s. In the beginning it always had bad forbidden rebellious feeling for him. The influence, aka believe sentences of fellow peers trying to keep there established high ground position from what is real, style/ aka ‘ realness ‘ conservative dogmas. SEAK who liked decades earlier the 3d’ish bootblock intros from amiga500 computer/ arcade games, the swapping group/ cracking group culture aesthics, the loose free almost realistic french belgian Spanish comic culture, the 1970s/ 1980s perception from Science fiction design, and the politcial uncorrect stylish design/ fashion cool from the German military/ waffenSS combat aesthics, rebelled, paced this influence to own artist direction. He mixed it with his inhability painting straight lines, having a good can control. The paintings with in the photo, all work in progress, are from around 15 to 20 years later. Here he challenged himself painting with in small space, with different layers bringing the best out of the painting. Trying ( yes there is no trying just executing) fresh ideas for the first time. To overcome his own conservatism. He loves the different atmospheres textures, colors are having. Learning while going from room to room working he lives with work in progress paintings using although that time to come up with ideas, or just painting while passing by the paintings.
Describing artist SEAK Claus Winkler’s work process:
Painting with directions the artists want follow.
Painting without thinking too much, cause he wants to focus on the audiobook he is listen, or at least the ambivalent concious space in between flow, thinking a little what he is doing, while focusing on the story in the audiobook/ music/ etc, while on X ?
Cursed blessed appreciation that he can just paint with in certain size range cause of small rooms.
Choosing ala color not it would sell well later, but it feels good for the artists own well-being. ( or the other way around?)
Describing artist SEAK Claus Winkler’s work process:
Concious or Unconscious discovering a weakness with in himself, so he chooses painting a certain form, which later when painting again at the same paintings will have a nurtureing, healing, the mind optimising effect cause it is implict or just because it is there.
Choosing the work method, technique which makes the artist paint longest time per day, being productive. With or without idea/ inspiration.
Painting like not being able painting like a child, a mental challenged person, or a like primates with in viral fun video.
Painting with mindset painting a classic futuristic/ organic stylised/ detail/ 3D SEAK Style mindset like back in the days.
Describing artist SEAK Claus Winkler’s work process:
Painting like feeling like a old never painted with spraycans abstract artist who can’t/ won’t paint anything naturalistic just painting, enjoying the abstraction, the composition the pure colors.
Painting to say, show something particular. Having a theme, a message, a statement. In the end every painting has that, sometimes it has that in the beginning, it starts with that.
Trying surprising himself with painting. Or being so sick from the boredom, that he paints something different to feel the sweet curiosity again.
Painting a new idea.
A few rockbottom, low points, where SEAK was loosing something, or where he failed, which influenced his art, or his art process. With in no chronological order, just out of the head spontaneously. They where several Situations where SEAK expierenced betrayal, or backstabbing, like connecting people, for mutual going painting illegal trains, when in the end he became left out, there wasn’t no space in the car for him joining the painting mission. The death of his mother recent, which always supported him. There was one time although in the 90s a jealousy beef over project competency, miraculus lost spraycans with in a other city, which ended for while real bad, where he became betrayed by fellow artists thought to be a friend. All real good lessons to grow from. With in all Situation, SEAK Claus Winkler was although part responsible for how things developed in the beginning. That one time, no 2 times when he became rescued by 2 artists friends, just acting ungreatful years later, feeling a shamed about short after. A healthy deep downer was the low attention, non digital social media success with in the last 10 years, compared to the fame hype with in earlier internet times, thru books, magazines, tv, radio, etc with in the mid 90ies/ 2000s. A real good reality check to humbling the ego from grandiosity illusion, and the price to pay for painting in the studio. The emotional rockbottom after his 2008/ 2009 everyweek 3 days hardcore partying partay substance tolerance rumspringa ( while painting during the rest of the week), including ending a 7 year realationship with his girlfriend, and heavy weightloss, just to be gaining massive bodyweight in the end. Sobriety Studio painting himself from 2009 for circa 5 years thru a deep depression with out of comfort zone’s techniques.
The artist SEAK Claus Winkler isn’t available in gallerys, didnt studied art, he is not knowing what he is doing, he is caucasian, middleclass background, small town germany. The first painting in the slide ( long high canvas, large furr pink top art of the small SEAK ‚a ‚, is from 2003/ 2002. painted although from the backside in a different abstract style. The other paintings with in the slide are from 2009 to 2021 all mixed media. SEAK Claus Winkler painted with in this style allaround the world in 35 countries. The paintings here are still work in progress with in his Cologne ( Köln ) Germany Studio House ( 1950 social housing program, which got from his grandparents). He sells his paintings there to affluent/ wealthy artfriends/ art investors direct.
Artist Rock bottom/ failures/ low point glimpses:
SEAK Claus Winkler was always although the scape goat for the negative feelings, jealousy/ envy, self hatred for a lot peers. That’s why he is very suspicious when people he meet in real life make him compliments he is more than he is alarmed, having learned his lesson. There was that museums exhibitions project he had word from curator being a part of where it was just lie, and he being left out for strategic reason. All in the end great lessons for growth. Several Situation painting in public where he was glad holding a shank/ a carpenters Hammer/ Etc staying healthy. Being a for several years super low in money just a having way below 50/ 20 euros the week for food/ phone/ etc, just painting in his studio on canvas/ paper with in isolation. It formed character, and personality. Necessary growth. Situations where wealthy collectors where being flirting with there financial cruel site of there personality. Inretrospective although part selfinflicted due expectation instead of gratitude, being too close, expectations, instead gratitude, underestimating the implict power of the artwork, the magic of color psychology, and lack in kowledge about human nature. All this while forcing himself not painting with for him safe comfortable known paintig techniques, working with new painting ways, different painting tools, while being depressive, underestimating the power of the colors nuances he was working with. A major factor additional was the absence of outside validation, and the fact that he started working his rotation system, so he denied himself the every few day satisfiying feeling having finished successfully a painting, a piece.
