Rainer Mörk has been painting and designing together with children suffering from cancer at the MHH for over two decades. The creative work offers the young patients a welcome change from everyday hospital life - and at the same time a therapeutically effective space.
Rainer Mörk was born in Leonberg near Stuttgart in 1964. He studied fine art with a focus on painting at the Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts and subsequently became a master student of Professor Ulrich Baehr. In addition to his work at the MHH, he has realized numerous exhibitions and commissioned works - including in Hanover, Hiroshima, Leonberg and Berlin.
"In my artistic work with the children and families on the oncology wards, I don't usually give thematic guidelines. Instead, I work with different materials such as watercolors and acrylic paints, papers, canvases, wooden boxes and much more - things that inspire creative design. This provides a flexible introduction to the creative process. Kindergarten children often paint and craft freely. Depending on their state of health, young people also venture into longer painting processes or manga drawings."
