WITHOUT END

To me a figure personifies man and his role in this world, a world in which people experience similar things and therefore I express my own feelings, fears and desires in the form of the human figure.

    Every material has its own specific nature which can be reacted to differently-in doing so you can achieve different methods of expression. Materials or techniques should not be limited and if they are there is a teal possibility to choose just that technique which best corresponds to our inner feelings. It's also a question of art being a game in a certain sense and it’s not a bad thing to change the playground occasionally.

    I’m not trying to achieve some basic concept. I have the feeling that it's more a result of my own development during my life, my maturing if you will. I’m far more interested in the internal connections of things and phenomena than the beauty of individual objects, like in the past. It’s probably a natural phenomenon that a person at a certain age begins to look back and look over their lire from a different perspective. I'm not claiming that it's recapitulation, but I guess I’m trying to get some overview and distance from every-day experiences, which in the past I reacted to.

    We live surrounded by various objects which share our history, which grow old with us and that’s why I put their signs or fragments in proximity to the figures, which however dominate the story. Often they are fragments of wood, brick and the like, which have been softened and thrown up by the sea.

While in an earlier period I did my best to define the imagination precisely, I have now come to the conclusion that a hint is enough to evoke a feeling. Therefore in my current work there are more and more materials and the surfaces are less descriptive, but with a greater degree of secrecy.
