SIMPLICITY AND HARMONY
In the implementation of a theme I attempt to arrive at a minimum of shapes, since I believe that through ruthless eradication of all formal expressions the artistic statement becomes more truthful and thus more effective.
Admittedly, I simultaneously believe that even with highest exertions (to come out of one‘s self) the ballast of heritage and memory can never be cast off.
That‘s why the imagination of a simple, disciplined shape is a subjective term, different with every person and every race, yet a first principle of simplicity and harmony must be reached. From the aforementioned literature
