Can you tell us the meaning behind your art name, Herzfarbenrausch?
Sure thing. Herzfarbenrausch consists of three words which are heart, colors, and intoxication.
Heart means love, colors mean colorful life, inspiration, and joy; then intoxication means the state in which you fall when you paint. It's like meditation.
I can see on your Instagram that you are a queer artist - What are the challenges you've faced as a queer artist?
Life is a challenge if you’re a gay, queer artist. I live in a catholic village. I am gay, foreign and fat. I was and will always be a bird of paradise here.
I think we should never stop living our dreams for ourselves. I love my art, and that is the most important thing. Acceptance comes by itself when you believe in yourself.
When and how did you figure out that you love art?
Pretty early. It is thanks to my colored pencils and wallpaper from the suffering of my parents.

What kind of art do you make?
I can't say that it's a mix of everything, but I would say emotion artist, depending on the muse. I love expressionism and pop art, something in between them.
What inspires you the most that can drive your creativity?
What inspires me the most are the colorful people who do not meet the norm and the weird birds, the birds of paradise!

What have been your key challenges in trying to get your work online?
The technical, of course. I'm not particularly skilled at creating a homepage, so other challenges have come my way.

Besides painting and making art, I love traveling, eating food, and dancing life itself.
