The 917 KH Gulf on the canvas: Porsche in oil

What was the biggest challenge you faced in painting the 917 KH Gulf?

It was definitely the oil paints! It had been a long time since I had painted with oil on canvas; overall I’ve concentrated more on drawing. But once there I quickly got used to the materials – it was a great experience!

How did it feel to work as an artist in the #porsche vehicle warehouse?

The atmosphere was amazing. You’re surrounded by so many new and classic Porsches – it’s a dream come true for any fan. While I was painting, Porsches like the 911 GT3 and the 918 Spyder drove past. That’s extremely exciting, of course.

You study #automotive design. What fascinates you particularly about the #porsche design?

I admire #porsche first and foremost for its engineering acumen, which is unquestionably world class. I love the noble aesthetics of the vehicles – very organic, straightforward and ultra-modern. At the same time I’m fascinated by the more striking, more racing-oriented models in which the designers have succeeded in achieving a perfect balance between beauty and power.
