Childlike joy
Alfred Karl Maria Kreutzberg’s paintings are an expression of childlike joy and freedom, a celebration. He does not fit into any pigeonhole, unless ni his own. One of the few artists with the highest recognition value. Alfred has had Parkinson’s for over 28 years, which makes his work special.
He jokes about his disability and says he asked God, “Lord, make me tremble so my hands will paint well.” He heard me, made me tremble, but forgot to cancel because he needed time for more important things.
Alfred created works with ink, coloured pencils, acrylic paints and oil. Abstract and expressionistic. It cannot be defined, but is authentic at all times. His pictures open up intuitively to the viewer. Quite dominant are his colours, which, seen close up, run and then disappear and yet, seen from the
and then disappear and yet, seen from a distance, represent something very concrete. They are different at every distance and new in sensation. One discovers the joy of life and its suffering, emphasising his message of happiness for a happy world:
His motto: Every day the birth of a new painting is celebrated, rewarded by the joy and feelings of the viewer when he recognises the soul of this painting.
