Paul Valery has said: „Nothing is as deep as the surface.“ I must live like a flying fish. I swim through a fathomless ocean of possible motifs, symbols and associations but to snap a visual idea I must leave the water for a moment of flight - each time a new adventure, since one never knows whether the surface will be calm or turbulent, sunny or gloomy.
