was born 1955 in Uelzen/Germany. Today he lives with his wife and daughter in a small village near Hildesheim. His
colour intensive spatula oil paintings pick out the world of jazz as a central theme - they are painted music, which
he has been developing continually with his series "Jazz Colours" since 1994. The visual language Born uses, is highly
expressive - the aim being to merge figure and soundcolours, to abstract and reduce. Source materials are mainly black
and white photos from old jazz magazines, combined with the comprimised recollections of innumerable concerts. The results
are paintings which create a very authentic mood, in which the play of light and shadow is mastered and the whole
melancholy and force of black music is depicted.
