Alphabet | NEUEREALITAET | 2026 | 70 x 100 cm | Oil on Canvas

"What is the justification of existence of a painting? 

What does a painting do that no other artform can achieve?", I often wonder.

"My answer - thus far - is: The painting connects everything [ALLES] at the same experiential level. It translates everything [ALLES] into the visual (and actually also tangible) language of what our brains, provided we can see, decode as the perception of colour and form, creating a relatively permanent and delineated space-time entity. 

Thus, I use this space-time entity to summarise in it what I consider to be the actual reality of human experience:

The intra-action of the conscious and the subconscious, the material and the immaterial, the tangible and the intangible - all at one plane. Thoughts, visions, dreams, memories. Intuitions. Emotions, energies, relationships. Humans, animals, plants, mushrooms, algae, minerals, objects.

Alles ist verbunden.

Once I make this NEUEREALITAET visible, the process of matter-realisation continues with you. Your perspective on the matter-realised shapes NEUEREALITAET further. You are an active part in the continuous co-creation of our actual reality."

NEUEREALITAET (German to English: "NEW REALITY") is my artistic concept.

​NEUEREALITAET is the third space uniting spectator and spectated,

experiencer, experience and experienced

- concept and creator.**

​

Drawing from the subconscious,

NEUEREALITAET matter-realises and unites all levels of consciousness at the same level,

renouncing the modern paradigm of a paradoxical system of categorisations*

that tacitly deny access to our actual reality.

In that sense, NEUEREALITAET is not actually "new". It is as old as existence.

But it is "new" against the backdrop of a modern* worldview."
