CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
transports a total different message . So I leave it to the viewer to find his or her own conclusion . For me it ’ s more important to deal with the subject . who is a very critical and honest reviewer . Beside the art itself , I share the results online to reach a broad community and to get in contact with people from different parts of the world with different cultural backgrounds . It ’ s interesting that people so far away share so much with you . That ’ s very important in times where so many people only point out the differences between us .
If people don ’ t start to think about of my paintings , they are pretty much meaningless for them which is worse in my view than if they just don ’ t like it . I would rate the importance of the viewer as very high and I am very interested to reach people with my work , but first of all I have to fulfill my own expectations and that ’ s already challenging . So when I start with a new project , I am not going to think about a viewer perception , it would be the wrong approach in my point of view . It ’ s more or less at the end of my development process when I am starting to think about how much more content should be added to leave room for the imagination of the viewer . The most important thing for me is to express a part of my self , which is impossible when someone else ’ s expectations are the primary focus . But I anyway believe that people are looking for different styles and ideas instead of an old story which tries to serve a kind of common flavor . There is only one person who gets directly asked for feedback and that ’ s my wife ,
I have indeed some ideas , all based on the idea to combine a walk-in visual art with sound , smell and more to a multidimensional experience . Probably in combination with virtual reality , but I am very at the beginning of my thoughts here . Maybe this could become an interdisciplinary project with other artists .
Thank you for thoughts and your questions , since I work very intuitive I had to reflect some of the topics for a while before I was able to answer them . Since English is not my native language , I hope I was able to transport all the content precisely enough . Anyway , we can keep communicating over the universal language of colors , so feel free to visit my homepage or add me on to get updated with new projects . Thanks .
