Paintings 1990-1997

Foundations of Fire — Maxrit’s Early Works (1990–1997)
Discover the formative paintings of Maxrit, created between 1990 and 1997 — a transformative period where intense emotional energy, abstract expressionism, and raw materials collide. These early artworks reveal a young artist driven by inner turmoil, high impulsivity, and a relentless pursuit of personal truth through creative expression.

In this foundational phase, Maxrit’s style is marked by aggressive brushstrokes, high color contrasts, scraped pigments, and a deep, tactile engagement with media such as egg tempera, acrylics, charcoal, red chalk, and earth materials. Painted on wood panels, canvas, and heavy papers, these works vibrate with tension, primal movement, and a monumental sense of scale.

Themes of the human figure, abstract landscapes, and fragmented architecture emerge within the chaos, mirroring an inner world grappling with transformation and authenticity. 
Central to this body of work is a guiding philosophy:
“Liebe noch, was du dann zerstören musst” — Still love what you must later destroy.
This existential tension between creation and destruction reflects a profound search for meaning, emotional truth, and artistic integrity.

Paintings like Reinwaschung – Das Omen and Blue Woods embody this ethos: surfaces ruptured by physical movement, colors unsettled by gravity and chance, traces of raw materials — all becoming testimonies of an artist refusing to mask, dilute, or compromise.

Maxrit’s early abstract paintings are not mere visual compositions; they are raw declarations of feeling — moments where upheaval, spontaneity, and emotional exposure become acts of truth-telling. This foundational period lays the essential groundwork for the evolution of Maxrit’s artistic language: fierce, unfiltered, and deeply human.
