Artist's Statement:

Art speaks for itself in it's own language. It is not a matter of
thinking yet you will understand and it will be true.

Digital artwork is based on a computer and appropriate software, technological tools that have pushed the limits of creativity far beyond the possibilities of more traditional art. Yet, how an artist uses these exciting tools and explores their possibilities and limitations is – as with any other medium and tool - determined by each artist’s skill and talent.

A unique feature of digital art is the possibility to share it with the world immediately and with fantastic speed via the internet. New venues of transverbal communication are thus opened up. Whether or not an image carries a message beyond itself, it certainly contributes to an international understanding and transcultural exchange that may well become the necessary ground on which lasting peace on this planet is feasible.

Thus I see my digital artwork as a way to share my life experience and non-verbal understanding with people all over the world, initiating a dialogue that bypasses all seeming differences. This unmediated directness is infinitely more personal, leaves less space for misunderstanding, moves us closer together and helps us realize once again that we are all interconnected and more alike than unalike.

It is my firm conviction that this fast, active and interactive creative process of sharing digital art is a step on the way of us humans back to our place as part of nature rather than this selfproclaimed final peak of evolution and selfimposed rulers of our home planet. This humbling realization may well turn out to facilitate enlightened and conscious global awareness.

Glowing wisdom
reflections in light.
Yet behind the canvas
nothing may change.

A drop in the sky
and the water spills

fierce flames of fire
on the edge of a hill
ignite the sky

First just a drop of shapeless content
closed in itself, floating in space
pushed by a square into a room
when I saw myself dreaming inside.

The earthship landed on the planet
looking out of the window
the search began
