artistic interests

 

with a lasting interest in different cultures, premodern, modern and contem-porary art, I only deal with digital image editing in my own works. their independent technical and creative potentials now largely dominate the applied area and are added to the existing ones in the fine ar.

 

In series of works, I vary—using filter combinations that have usually undergone multiple revisions—predominantly self-created photographic, graphic, and painterly elements in differing proportions, situated in an intermediate realm that remains visually and conceptually ambiguous: between the real, the abstract, and/or the imaginary; sign and structure; composition and decomposition; the general and the particular.

 

In the case of numerous individual works—usually selected at different times—I move beyond mere experimentation through processes of further development, modification, or variation, carried out once or repeatedly.

 

despite all possible interest, comparable design means in my free works, whether coincidental or conceptual, have no intentional connection to contemporary historical and biographical conditions or identifications of other and the purposes of applied art forms.

 

I view the exercise of personal, independent, and self-determined freedom of art and information as a contribution to its future preservation—in a general sense—against any form of presumptuous co-optation or restriction.
