Ken Tielkemeier: The last painting

In July 2007 in Florence Ken Tielkemeier began painting what would be his last painting that he never finished. The artist was disturbed by the illness that was consuming him. This painting represents his thoughts at that time. On the left we see the cats in the condominium that seem to waiting for Ken since he always took care of them. In the center we see Tielkemeier’s head painted on a branch of the tree of life that is rising towards the sky. Further on the right the figure of the expressionist artists model. Ken Tielkemeier died mid August in 2007.
