Zur Arbeit:
Achenbach’s work masterfully embodies the ever-present influence of natural elements. Through paintings filled with trees, waterfalls, and hills, viewers are transported to lush, vibrant landscapes. Meanwhile, his glass sculptures evoke organic forms like coral, further blurring the line between the natural and the abstract.

Using vividly colored stripes and swirling foliage, Achenbach creates a dynamic, almost musical rhythm in his work. Drawing on art historical traditions, he starts with abstraction and gradually evolves his compositions into dreamlike landscapes. These scenes invite exploration of uncharted territories, evoking a primordial Earth untouched by mankind. In this realm, plants thrive and blend naturally with the atmosphere, light, and shimmering waters, ultimately offering a chimeric canvas for our inner thoughts.
