In his paintings, Malwin Faber combines gestural abstraction with precise geometric forms and grid elements. His painting thrives on the interplay between movement and structure, comparable to a jazz improvisation. Through sophisticated layering, monotype techniques and the integration of objects, he creates a fascinating spatial depth that extends the painting into real space.

In the ‘Modulations’ group of works, Malwin Faber develops a painterly language in which controlled composition and spontaneous gesture interpenetrate each other. As in a musical improvisation, the artist takes up motifs and impulses from previous works in each work, varying, breaking and condensing them anew. Random material reactions are consciously integrated into the painting process and open up unexpected pictorial solutions that create complex pictorial spaces layer by layer.

His painting thrives on contrasts: gestural movement meets precise grids, delicate texture meets clear geometry. Faber uses the monotype technique not only as a printing process, but also as a painterly instrument - comparable to an effect device that distorts, deforms or vibrates a guitar sound without denying its origin.
