What is LILIUMS XXL about?

Liliums XXL (2026) by Claus Bertermann is a monumental figurative painting — acrylic and oil stick on canvas, 150 × 240 cm, hand-painted, not AI-generated. The work gives the most ceremonious flower in art a stage nearly two and a half metres wide, and then refuses to let it behave. Rather than telling a narrative or composing a tasteful still life, the painting presents the act of painting itself, scaled up: the lily is only a pretext that lets the hand move across a panoramic field. What is recorded on the canvas is not a garden but a sequence of fast, irreversible decisions stretched from edge to edge. For his figurative works, Claus Bertermann deliberately shifts his physical painting process. Instead of traditional brushes, he applies the acrylic ground with a roller and wide brush across a surface wide enough to demand whole-body gestures. This creates a raw, charged field that carries visible momentum and bodily rhythm. The blossoms and their contours are then drawn directly with oil stick — intuitively and independently from the painted ground. The lines do not conform to the surface beneath them; they cut across it and wander off the edges of the petals. Unlike his abstract works, Claus Bertermann does not scrape back layers here. The image is built forward: coarse acrylic application followed by decisive oil stick contours. The wide composition is led by several large stylized lily blossoms in luminous orange and apricot, their star-shaped petals outlined in white, yellow and hot pink oil stick, spread across the upper register against vivid green foliage and a deep blue ground. Below them a dense band of small orange bud-clusters rises on dark, drawn stems out of an olive-green and near-black undergrowth along the lower edge, with passages of lavender and blue opening up the mid-zone. Long blue and violet drip-lines fall vertically through the scene. The blooms are deliberately simplified and flattened, prioritizing rhythm, scale and color energy over botanical accuracy. Signed by the artist on the front and back, Liliums XXL is one of two paintings made together on this subject — the larger, panoramic companion to the square Liliums XL. A museum-scale work that balances exuberant color with the artist's central claim: it was never about the lilies.

Is LILIUMS XXL AI-generated?

No. LILIUMS XXL is a hand-painted original created entirely by Claus Bertermann — Acrylic and oil stick on canvas. All works by Claus Bertermann are made by hand. In a time when AI-generated imagery is increasingly common, every Bertermann painting is a unique physical object, never digitally produced.
