The Inside of the Line
Nature and ultimately all reality can only be experienced through experience. In order to open up the metaphysical hidden from nature in the foreground of reality, I try to express what I see behind things by abstracting the representational. In Kant's sense, that is supersensible, which lies above our sensory experience. That is, I want to get from the object that I can sensually grasp to the abstraction that goes beyond my senses, creating images that are not graspable by the mind and yet are familiar on a deeper level. Create visual spaces into which the viewer can immerse and resonate with their own deep-seated worlds. An universal understanding of the world can arise through the subjectively shaped letting in of the viewer. When he looks at the picture and the limit of viewing disappears, when the subject coincides with the object, the viewer's idea of and about himself and thus the separation of the individual from the whole can be dissolved.
