About "a matter of belief":
In this new series I deal with the question what we
believe in today’s society and which ideologies shape us. Have consumption and
technology become our new substitute religions?
By superimposing sacred spaces with profane buildings,
I blur the clear boundaries of both worlds to give new interpretations to these
questions.
About my work in general:
I question our world and our view of it. The conditio
humana - the nature of man and the human being as creator and destroyer is crucial
in most of my works. Due to the inhomogeneity of the used pictorial
elements I create new thematic references. In my collages, I combine various
photographs of nature, architecture with painted fragments and structures. Time
and space, new and old, overlap both in form and substance. I create mysterious
and atmospheric scenes that leave room for the viewers own interpretations and
associations.
About my technique and Material:
With my specially developed technique, I transfer the
digital artwork into an original work in which the haptic materiality plays a
major role. In a complex process the artwork is printed on a canvas which is
covered completely with leaf silver and then poured into epoxy resin. This
gives the works an optical depth and a special quality of the surface. The
silver in the background makes the colors shine from the inside out - so the
pictures have a different appearance from every angle.
