THE GIFT-ALICANTE- (Pigment ink on ‘Japan-paper’, 30cm x 40cm, Dirk Marwig 2008)

I was on holiday at easter time in Alicante (Spain) when I drew this. It was the “Semana Santa” with the ‘big procession’. All these people in the streets following or observing a statue of “Christ” which was carried from A to B. Really a cool sight! Mesmerizing. … but really I thought that most of the people who attended just wanted to party! Fiesta!

Back to Square One (Oil and archival ink on Japan paper, 28cm x 22cm, Dirk Marwig 2009)

This is what happens if you just let things happen without control: This little drawing/painting was in my studio for a very long time- I stepped on it, wrinkled it up and threw it away into the garbage bin, took it out of the garbage again, flattened it out and put it into the “to do” folder. When I had nothing to do one day I ironed it repaired the rip and applied a new layer of oil and voila :it worked! Basically it’s the same painting as before but with that special ingredient: the ‘magic’ of time, the ‘wear and tear’!
