Before Ansgar Dressler touches the canvas, he dives deep into his own emotional world. His art is not a calculated process, but a raw, intuitive translation of what is bubbling inside him - from ecstatic joy to pent-up rage. To get himself into this state, he begins by choosing music that reflects his current mood and gets him into the creative flow.

Then the discharge begins. With full physical presence, Dressler lets his emotions flow directly into the colors. He throws, splashes and drips the paint onto the canvas with raw intensity, sometimes controlled, sometimes impetuous. Every swing, every impact is an expression of inner impulses - a dance between explosive energy and deep reflection.

The process is untamed, but by no means aimless. Dressler not only guides the paint with his brush, but with his whole body. Anger is discharged in powerful, impulsive movements, while moments of clarity create an almost floating lightness. This is how the "Spirits" are created - powerful, floating forms and strutures that capture the raw essence of his emotions.

In the final stages of the work, he brings calm to the chaos with targeted accents, without taming it. It is this contrast of wild, unfiltered power and deep inner balance that makes his art so vibrant. His works are not images - they are emotion in its purest form.

The works in Ansgar Dressler's Spaces for the Traveling Mind series are created through a multi-layered and experimental use of acrylic paint and serve as a refuge for the artist to escape the stress of everyday life and thus recharge his batteries. The aim of these works is thus to develop a meditative effect and also to allow the viewer a moment of inner contemplation and well-being. The paintings invite you to lose yourself in their depth and discover the subtle nuances of the abstract representation.

For this series, the paint is specially prepared to achieve an optimal consistency. Earthy and natural tones are predominantly used, creating a calming and harmonious atmosphere. The colors are applied in several layers, creating an impressive depth effect and three-dimensional structures. Through the controlled merging of the color tones and the deliberate integration of textures, each work develops a unique visual dynamic. The subtle color gradients and the organic design of the compositions convey a sense of serenity and calm to the viewer.
