The Eagle of Awareness - 1999
Pastel on Paper
50 x70 cm
"The Eagle of Awareness" is a self-portrait that intended to show the alter ego. I sat a mirror in front of me and tightened a wooden eagle
on my head. I asked myself from where might have come the "bloody red color" around the eyes. Days later I suddenly knew: When I was a young boy my father slaughtered two doves of mine without first talking about it to me. I came in the
garden and saw the two doves lying in the grass without their heads. My official therapy was long over, but now it was quite clear to me why I could be so angry when my father decided something for his own which might be of interest
to me as well.

The Joy of Poetry - 2003
100 x 70 cm
Acrylic on Canvas
"The Joy of Poetry" shows some sort of a spaceship "wading" up to the sun.
The structure at the bottom symbolizes happy people as well striving to the sun,
they rise from a sliding vehicle or the like, as I just found. The background consists of three areas that are nearly uncolored. A conscious effort to
bring the protagonists more in the foreground, to work them out more clearly. I am nearly convinced that if I work out the different structures or figures in the painting, I will work out something in my
soul or my personality as well. To me this constitutes one device to develop
myself and the recipient by art and through art.
