About The Artwork

The profession of gold beating is more than 5000 years old and is largely no longer practiced in Germany. In Myanmar/Burma, gold leaf is still beaten by hand. For an hour at a time, the men beat the gold leaf packages with a three-kilo hammer. hammer on the gold leaf packages. After that, there is a fifteen-minute break. The physically very strenuous work is often started at age 16 and may be performed up to the age of 45. For the artwork, original 24 karat gold leaves from Mandalay were used, as well as original paper covers of the packages, where in the gold leaves are sold.

My images are my flashlight. We are currently overwhelmed a million times with images, that mainly have trivial meanings, like: buy me! or vote for me! I create a visual antipole. Human history is a conglomerate of reappearance of events. There were many approaches to erupt out of this periodicity. I have worked in the streets for many years and painted my stencils both signed and unsigned. It is important for me to create art for the sake of art. Far away from the pressure to earn money or to appeal to an audience. I concentrate on the raw establishment of images that remain true to my beliefs because they grow out of my soul. Within them I can broach my thoughts, feelings and fears. They are my therapy to handle the bizarre reality of how human beings live together. I often wander through the darkness of existence. With my art, I can hold a candle to find the way that appears right to me. That’s why I depict people, that interact with each other or paint figures, that do represent a certain way of thinking. These paths are fundamental to my work and I enlarge them with my own viewpoints. I establish small niches in public and private spaces. Niches to pause for a moment. Simply lacunas.
