Michael Sowa

Do you know Michael Sowa? He is a German painter. If you have watched a movie, Amelie, I think you have seen his paintings. On left picture, there are two paintings, a dog and a duck. These are his paintings, and these are so funny.

His paintigs have a skill all his own. These have some humor, some dark and... I can't say as words. But I like his paintings.


A first time I have seen his painting was few years ago. When I was a junior high, I read a book, ちいさなちいさな王様. Have you ever read it? Axel Hacke who is a German wrote the book, and a picture of cover is a Michael's painting. I think, after you saw the book cover, you'll not forget his paintings. His paintings have some power, but I don't know what's power.

When I see his paintings, I can relax. Why I don't know. His paintings lost strength and it's so humor, but sometimes, there are some sadness, darkness and so on there.
If you're interested in his paintings, please see many his pictures :) (180 words)
