NUMBERS



In "Numbers" I use digits as substance instead of bodies to paint portraits or important moments. Since to me everything is numbers this is the way I compress reality into a painting.
Seeing more life and character in digits and numbers than others do, I paint groups or "families" of figures. Through numbers we have been able to understand a lot more of this world, pushing – what ever civilisation is – forward. These apostels of our numerical era serve us doubtlessly guarding our secrets behind numerous codes – PIN codes for accounts, phones and doors. They mark periods in our lives – like milestones in phone numbers or addresses. Portraying them this way makes them more "alive". The idea is that mathematics will not go much further without a spiritual approach and vv.
