About “rushing into silence”
Here, images of Tokyo,
the city that never stands still, are overlaid with serene landscapes. It shows
the human being in the fixed tracks of his self-made constraints of work, money
and consumption. When the mantra of always faster, further, higher becomes suffocating, the
neglected desire for inner peace, nature and of breaking out of the routines
needs to be heard.
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.
