Bird in the Crop Field Expl. 1/5 Painting by Otto Frühwach

Otto Frühwach, painter and digital artist, often asks himself: “Who is that painting? Am I the one who paints? Or is it someone else who paints through me?” Sometimes it seems to him to be a genius and sometimes a dilettante. That's why he doesn't look for praise or criticism, because he sees himself only as a tool of a creative force.

What interests him is the world that lies behind what is visible to the naked eye. He tries to make this invisible world visible through his images, be it photography or painting.

He sees his painting as a form of photography of the world invisible to the naked eye.

How do all the forms in nature come about? They are created by matter and water, as well as by the factors of pressure, temperature and time.

In his painting, matter and water are water and pigments.

With his special painting technique he imitates the factors of time, pressure and temperature.

And then you still need the essential thing: the creative power, which everyone calls differently, for them it is God.

He doesn't create anything, he just makes visible. The pictures are not his work, he is just a tool. Just as the brush is his instrument, he sees himself as an instrument of something greater.
