Jittemann's theme is the human being as an individual - his urges, feelings, moods...
and the human society with its light and dark sides.
He places it as a caricature, in its sweet esthete, -from comical, witty to critical, heretical.
In his work Jittemann expresses news, experiences and values as an artist.
On the one hand laying the moral index into the wounds of the human race,
on the other hand, reminding man with a smile not to take himself and his role too seriously.
Life is only a game.





Jittemann's work is arranged in a self developed technique.
First he creates spontaneous, quick drawn sketches.
The ideas are subconscious and are thrown eruptively on paper,
then transfered on a coated wooden board and developed in an extravagant,
time consuming precision-work in paint.
He creates his works of art by means of lacquer and the special process,
which appear as an enamel metal surface or glazed, fired ceramics.
The colourdness is very intensive and the pictures are extremely effective.
Not only does the viewer see an imaginery room with characters in the picture -
the picture as such is real.
The observer gains the impression that his characters would instantly jump out of the picture.


Since 1988, 375 pictures have been created with this technique.
At the moment the artist is working on another 50.


Coexisting with painting, drawings are created in different techniques
and since 1994 more and more on canvas in paint or oil.
