Interview with Michael Dassmann
What is the connection between your pictures?#
The one from the exhibition in Radebeul or which one do you mean?
No, basically. Do your pictures have a connection, for example, from the period of creation. Do you paint one particular first and another particular follows?#
Ok first of all, thank you for asking me questions.
With the acrylic paintings I mostly advertise free software. These often come from F-Droid, which is a catalog of FOSS apps. Free software also includes Linux, I’ve already painted logos there.
And yes, I also paint other pictures, logos like that of XR and a logo for a couple cooking show 2019.
Period of origin ? How do you mean that ?
Hm one can not say now, the pictures in Radebeul are some of the last painted. The picture of the weather app is already a few years old.
And what about a specific and then another specific image?#
Mostly yes. I also started with emojis. I also paint something like that in between, so not just logos.
I also have a ToDo list of which pictures I want/should paint. There are also suggestions from others. Some I paint, some I don’t. That depends on it.
Are your pictures a complete work of art?#
This is an interesting question. If I can paint and show individual pictures, that’s great. And if I can show a lot of acrylic paintings in an exhibition, then the joy increases. I can also explain it like this:
If you listen to a CD or an mp3 that you like to listen to, you are happy and if you can listen to the same as a LIVE concert, you are much more happy. I already think that it is a total work of art. I have now painted over 1000 acrylic paintings. I now call it my acrylic project.
Have you been able to sell some pictures of yourself already?#
The programmer of the MediLog app had bought me 2 pictures, for himself and his daughter. I think she designed the logo.
in 2023 there were 17 of my acrylic paintings with QR code as a jam jar, but not with me, but at the jam manufactory. Lift Ukraine e.V. came up to me and didn’t just want to have their logo on the jam jars - I was supposed to paint an acrylic picture and that was supposed to be on the jam jars. They had bought the picture from me 2 times. 2023 for painting and 2024 for sending.
If you like, you are welcome to support my acrylic project. There are many options.
Would you, Michael Dassmann, like to tell me, @mondstern, anything else?#
Thank you for answering my questions so comprehensively. I hope that your exhibition will attract many more visitors.
Thank you for your questions.
