Painting for me means working in space and with light and not so much with colours. That’s why I like black. Space and light are everything and everything is related. The viewer sees light on the surface of the painting which reflects back on him. Thus he finds himself standing right in the middle of this gesamtkunstwerk [total work of art] of painting, space and light. The angle and the moment of vision are decisive for what you see.
