Philipp Hesser

Update 2025: With NININ #23 the artist returns to painting exclusively the NININ-series of paintings.
(the Neither Is Nor Is Not- series of paintings was started in 2019. It is a spiritual-artistic or philosophical concept to point to the unity of all being. It criticizes the contemporary bombardment with images and information, the unending run for bigger, better, faster and calls for slowing down and contemplation)

(2024 - color deception: Abstract expressionist. Using cheap materials due to lack of ressources. Acrylic because oil paints are too much in a single room apartment. These paintings stand in direct relation to psycho analysis and self discovery, treatment of depression)
