about the artwork
his artistic oeuvre ranges between the controversies and the achievements of modernity, that looks for fundamental answers to questions that presently supremely concern and move people:
- concerning superiority of intellect
- loss of the soul
- destruction of nature
- power of technocracy
- to dismember the forces of entity of men
- prereligious visions of life.
the artist researches into possibilities of modern art, from cezanne, paul klee, max ernst to joseph beuys; from rimbaud, dylan thomas, breton, to paul celan; from debussy, varèse, nono to john cage, - and so he is using the results of this knowledge - processing with the transformations through his individual forming in his work and his visions.
this engagement stays readable in its educational matter - but still shall preserve the secret and the inspirational in expression.
he is looking for genuine, resistant and primary solutions to distinctively call up the mystery of creation. ultimately, it points to pass each of the human senses to forge ahead to extrasensory perception.
