The 917 KH Gulf on the canvas: Porsche in oil

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.

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.
