What interests me in my visual art and in general is being. Presence. The German social philosopher Hartmut Rosa, uses an intriguing concept on the ancient subject, namely: Resonance. From the concepts of music one speaks of a special mood. When I “swing” with my surroundings. It is not to maintain something fundamentally elusive that we have art. Art can, for me, at its best help us relate poetically to the world. Let it open, in instant eternities. In the overlap and coupling of synthetic idioms, speak to us and activate sides in us that often cannot be expressed verbally, yet. That is a noble purpose of art. To be able to speak directly to us about what we do not yet have the words to express, but which lies latent in all of us.
