36 pieces from 2015 -Paintings, Objects and ‘Furniture’- A productive year for me. (Dirk Marwig, December 19th 2015)

A good year. Quality and Quantity. 36 pieces (paintings, objects, wood block prints and “furniture”) plus I stopped smoking (cold turkey style) which was probably the most difficult thing I’ve done so far. This is a photo compilation of the
