Hans-Jürgen’s
passion are succulent plants, and he has
pursued it not only through collecting but painting with them, too. He works
both in pen drawings and watercolours, and many paintings of cacti and other
succulents were produced by him over the years. All reflect his love of art and
succulents and show a keen attention to detail.
The
artist’s life-like drawings have been extensively published in various
botanical journals such as the South African "Aloe", the Danish magazine
"Kaktus", the "British Cactus and Succulent Journal", the Australian
"Asran", and last but not least in the German "Avonia", the
former "Informationsheft die anderen Sukkulenten" of the
"Fachgesellschaft andere Sukkulenten – FgaS" (German society for the
other succulents).
Hans-Jürgen’s
fine pen drawings can also be admired in plant catalogues of the well-known
German nursery Kakteen-Haage. A particular mention deserve his precise pen
drawings published in Ingo Breuer’s "The World of Haworthias (Vol. 1)"
and "The World of Haworthias (Vol. 2)".
