Klaus Koch, born in Southern Burgenland, Austria, lives and works not far from his birthplace surrounded by nature. In his works, he focuses on nature and the feminine. He expresses duality as a universal principle and is constantly searching for what truly matters in life. For him it is love. He feels drawn to nature and is critical of people. As a result, he is in rebellion against a fast-paced, superficial, brutal, and empathetic society that ruthlessly exploits itself and its fellow creatures—animals and plants—under the hypocritical guise of a false necessity. The overarching theme of Klaus Koch's work is "Perspectives of Being". It represents the search for meaning in our human existence, a quest for a higher power, for the origin of all being, and for what is yet to come. Klaus Koch also addresses overconsumption, imbalance, and the exploitation of sentient beings and natural resources. The sixth mass extinction of wild species, caused by humans, cannot be viewed independently of sociopolitical and economic developments—our fates are closely intertwined. Coexistence is more important than conflict. Art can and should reveal, highlight the beauty, and contribute to making the world more compassionate, respectful, and, in the long run, more reflective.
