"To be a painter means to me to lead the existence of a contemporary,
who spends the bulk of his life trying to the impulses of his life:
suggestions like depression, Intuitions like calculating considerations,
To show reactions of single experiences like creating adventure chains -
or win in the painting process. "
(Fred Thieler)
