Discussion of art always involves discussion of changing ways of thinking. The study of space and time by physicists like Stephen Hawking, the latest insights of chaos theory and my own preoccupation with biology are partly the basis of my works.
Artists as well as natural scientists try to describe and reflect different phenomena of nature. Pictures offer the possibility to portray the experiments that unfold in one�s mind, which are under no obligation to be proven. They pick up new questions and offer thought models. In the course of creation the artist uses his reservoir of conscious and subconscious and so he enjoys more freedom than the natural scientist.

By combining these two ways of thinking, the artist in his works � the scientist in his experiments, a deeper and broader insight is gained freeing the artist and the natural scientist from their individual ivory towers and their routine work and thought patterns. This should encourage the artist and the natural scientist to go beyond traditional ways of thinking.

Looking at an old piece of furniture made me ask myself the question what was the common basis of the arrangement of springs in furniture and the arrangement of chromosomes in cells.
One day I was confronted with the bottom of a piece of furniture on the floor of my atelier. At that moment I was very tired and the spirals started to move in front of my eyes and adopted various configurations. They reminded me of chromosome structures as well as of the embryonic development from the fertilized egg into morula and blastula.
At the same time and already in the years before I had been studying the theses of the biochemist Rupert Sheldrake who investigates the problem of morphogenesis using his theory of morphogenetic fields. What is the basis of form in nature? How does a molecule or a leaf know which form it has to adopt in the end? I had the feeling that I had found a track which could lead to an explanation. In the course of the debate which followed, increasing uncertainties arose concerning a reliable definition of art. Since then I have constantly been searching for a comprehensive definition for art, but my search has been met with many unsatisfactory answers.In this respect I have taken both an artistic and sclentific approach to my pictures in trying to find an answer to this question.
