Vue de l'Arc de Constantini depuis la Via Triumphalis, Rome (2010) Painting by Paul Dmoch

Being an artist is not something you decide. It's a state of mind. It is not a choice ....

From the darkness comes the light
I have known the two extremes, light as well as darkness. These extremes are poles that go together ... they are a driving force for each other, you might say. Life seems to be made up of opposites ... light and dark. The feelings they evoke seem contrary, but there is a hidden connection between them. They cannot work without each other. The experience of light is only possible by living the absence of light, and in contrast to its opposite, darkness. Art is the only true expression of the feelings of the infinite journey deep within oneself. For me it is a metaphor for the eternal search for balance between these two fundamental elements of human existence.
