We can distinguish man’s external from his inner natur. Simultaneously we confront and reflect the external world with our own internal world. Our awareness and truth are thus constantly questioned and defined anew. This is often associated with doubt and pain.

Yet, the duality of external demands and internal freedom combine ultimately to become one. We need the polarity of restlessness and solitude within our own universe, in order to go within and to find ourselves. After the noizy day rises the silent night, the hours of solitude. Therein lies the ambiguity of life. My paintings don‘t tell stories but depict emotions. They are more poetry than prose.
