Ralf Schmidt

Human reality is a complex structure, which is formed in its sum of innumerable perspectives and interpretations of the facts, which are also subject to a continuous flux of change. The concrete image situation often tries to show aspects of human nature value free.
As an artist I try to bring into consciousness what might get lost in the struggle of everyday's life. It's about proportion, relationship, selection and sorting.
