Vibrant work, there, Tanja: so often, these very quick impressions have more life in them than something we've laboured over for hours (usually trying to import a sense of life which the work otherwise lacks, in my quite recent experience: and that is very rarely going to work; also from my fairly recent experience).

Thank U Robert, i'm sorry, but the half of your writing i don't understand, the translator google give me weird content in German that doesn't make sense, same with other translating tools...

Google Translate is good for the basic statement: once you get a bit more complicated, with clauses, and sub-clauses, it does get lost.
And of course, the original English may not have made much sense anyway!
I'll try a more basic sentence: Bringing a sense of life to a piece of work is difficult to do. I have recently discovered this in an attempt of my own.
(That should come through; my German isn't good enough to say that auf deutsch: I could try 'Es ist schwer, das Leben in Gemälde zu zeigen', but I'm not at all sure that makes any sense either... and it's only half of the sentence in English, which was, I felt, a challenge too far.)

Thank you so much again, Robert! Conveying a feeling for life is really difficult, even in music: When you have to perform the same piece hundreds of thousands of times, in an orchestra, practicing alone, rehearsing with a teacher, and performing it countless times, and you have to convey that feeling each time, that's also difficult.
