How does artist SEAK Claus Winkler works?

SEAK Claus Winkler:

Hmm i suggest you srcoll over before asking about the art, on my website blog. I’ve wrote a lot about my art there. In German, and English.

Would be interesting to see/ read how your questions then are. On the other other hand, ask direct. My perspective on the whys/ etc are always progressing.

I can use this, as a interview for my blog/ Twitter. Efficiency

SEAK Claus Winkler:

BTW, this is a paintings backside. Particular the frames backside. Work on progress. When having a acquisition, investment interest, I focus on certain paintings.

I prioritize theses painting, which the art collector/ client then can buy. When I have a the agreed payment in advance. Till then I am just keep painting, with no goal in mind.

Just to optimize my paintings, develop, grow them. Loving the process.

I could continue painting these paintings ( all most all my paintings are in a/ this rotation) everywhere in the world. Sitting on some uhnwi ultra rich collectors couch, and painting.

Question: What inspires me painting my paintings?

SEAK Claus Winkler: The last years, it’s just a routine, painting in rotations at all my paintings. Thats just digging from what is already there. Bringing them to a certain detail/ complexity level. Painting finer. Once i would have reached the pinnacle, high ground, higher then before.

Then i would be, have/ must be creative again. Till then its maybe just inspiration on a micro level. Like colors, effects. „ Aus dem vollen schöpfen „ regarding the forms.

Means using from what i have already developed. The last years due my rotation process, it’s very less inspiration, more just doing plain work. Of course i watch/ collect, screenshots from mech/ gundam/ sci-fi robots/ spaceships, worldwar 2 planes/ tanks/ vehicles/ toy cars/ tech/ etc.

I wouldn’t need to do it. My style, my inspirations, my fascination are already ingrained. I guess Iam sporadic filling my iTunes cloud photo album screen with screenshots, with the though I could use these images during a later stage when painting with more complexity taking it to a further edge.

I should probably created here with words a fascination for my work, though Iam pretty sick of my own style.

Though Iam forced to keep on keeping on, digging from my own oeuvre, all he sketches. Being forced to take it to a further level.

Then just being limited due Iam doing it alone, rather then having a large studio, with lots of white label invisible assistants working painting my style/ paintings. In away Iam in hamsterwheel.

SEAK Claus Winkler: You see here a small ‚ a ‚, my signature letter/ form, i painted all around the world in much larger.

On the left of it, on the canvas background, on the painting behind this painting, you although see a small ‚ a ‚. Much finer, more detailed painted.

I started both paintings in the beginning 2000s ( lefts main side 2001, the small long in height canvas in 2003 ).

Since then, with a pause from 2003 to circa 2011-14 ish, the painting is steady growing in complexity.

SEAK Claus Winkler:

Iam afraid that just finishing my paintings which having here in the cologne (Köln) studio, to the detail quality level Iam having in mind, is too much for a lifetime.

Iam having all paintings painted from both sides. Thats frustrating on many levels. First, Iam not sure if the full detailed, taken it it to the edge, painted painting, regarding details, effects, quality, etc will/ would satisfy my in the end?

Due my aesthetic, my taste is different from the fascination i had have, when being a child/ in my youth regarding visuality. Matured? Grown in taste.

Parallel to this double bind Situation, Iam having on the process way a thousand other ideas, paths, sidestep possibilities, how painting in this, or that direction.

Which contradicts my current way, or is a simplified version, different techniques, sizes, mediums, or total different way.

Like full abstract, just readable letters, just raw broad with oil, just one color, just rough portraits, just landscape, etc.

Question: I understand the inspiration, and artistic references could be low and you’re not just feeling fulfilled , have you got partners in making your Artworks ?

SEAK Claus Winkler: No, it’s just me. That’s part of my usp. Painting paintings, that you know they are painted by the artists, instead of large studios/ partners.

Let’s say i sell a painting for a few millions, I would need to reinvest, to lower taxes, i would consider building a book publishing team / internet team.

Maybe a pr agent? Iam burned for German mainstream media, due they are super antiwhite, anti anything less then socialist/ woke. Iam way too rightwing for German countries reporters, etc.

In any case I must be painting everyday. I thought maybe “ using “ for mutual benefit my future uhnwi clients, there infra structure to live while producing. I can paint my paintings anywhere. To problem is.

I would love start new paintings, though i must finish first the old ones, in progress. I have too much small paintings.

I must start more/ painting more large paintings. Burn out is easy overcome by painting in a different room, listening to different audio books. ( almost 500 audible books )

SEAK Claus Winkler: It’s a oil, crayon, spray, marker, etc, mixed media painting on paper, finished in 2013.

At some point later, a few years i started painting the frames back, and then although on the glass.

Is it work in poogress? I don’t know. From the backside sure. Growing into a masterpiece.

Question: Apart from your Art painting business, what other thing do you invest your resources to build wealth ?

SEAK ClausWinkler: When I would start making larger sums, I guess I would start asking my clients/ collectors. Uhnwi/hnwi. At the moment Iam on survival Modus.

SEAK Claus Winkler: this are Two ‚ SEAK ‚ styles, saying the word ‚ Seak ‚, work in progress. Lots of details to be done. It’s a old kitchen wood table top. Probably from the 1950s/ 1960‘s, with canvas staple gunned over.

Painted from all sides. The backside from this painting is at this point, still in a much earlier beginning stage.

Just a chess board like ish pattern in color, with color fadings. The line, in the middle should suggest the middle part of the female reproductive organ.

Question: You can get out your hamster wheel, with a very good strategic partnership.

I feel and know what you need is expansion. As at this level you can’t handle everything yourself.
You need an alert team and effective marketing

SEAK Claus Winkler: What is an alert team? Marketing? Sounds good. I guess my aim target group are uhnwi,,how to reach them?

I’ve I paint I can’t contact them, if i contact them, I have no guarantee to reach them, due not having addresses, being blocked by there front desk/ family office/ and or they get over flooded with people trying to sell them something. Hmmm

SEAK Claus Winkler:

This chaos are all letters. Stylised, abstracted if you don’t want to make yourself the effort to study and analyze them.

Lots of S e a k . At this stage they are still work in progress. Some i will keep in this rough, rouged raw way. Some i make hyper detailed, or 3d, or this or that.

I like to variate, exploring a range of possible aesthetics, techniques, styles, how to realize my letters/ forms.

Like the variation of different cool matchbox, Siko, Martell, hotwheels, tamaya, dragon Model, forces of valore, he man, play big, faller, Lego, playmobil, märklin, starwars (old), tin soldiers, smurfs, brio Bahn, scale Model Brands, digital 3d modeller, plastic, metal, toys, cars, tanks, figurines, planes, vehicles, etc.

Maybe Iam chasing my fascination for all that. Compensating Iam not seeing/ having that all the time, in real life.

Though theses days most cars, for example look boring.
