Meine Ars Poetica:
“To serve the text of the book at such high level that makes the graphic artist a co-author. Just like a good actor who performs every role in a different way, a good graphic artist too can represent different styles but only one personality and character. A good illustrator is a child, a psychologist, is highly educated, a scientist and an intuitive genius in one person who can sing about the rainbow to the blind text.”

How do you decide on your subject matter?

Do you ask for the topic that I am working on? The topic is important,
but it is not the first consideration. The style always comes first. "Le
style c'est l'homme." isn't it? About my topics I can tell you in my own
way. Simply the suffering-creeping-crawling-greedy skin-bags are
interesting for me: "humans." Even my religious icons are secular,
although I am religious. But in my opinion, Jesus had never been to any
hairdresser… thus if he is tousled, he is more authentic for me. In my art
I am much more interested in the beginning (archaic, primitive, folklore)
than in the end which we have today. These art happenings with dance and
music, these modern forms of throes of death… The modernity is always
something which disappears as fast as possible.

My own style is simply the "spiritual and grotesque one" bizarre or
"pieronymus art." That means, I always look at this grotesque world
through my spiritual eyeglasses, I perform a picture of it in my brain,
and then I create my own, a spiritual grotesque world.

Neither the photorealistic nor the purely abstract art is interesting for
me. I regard both as a visual dead end. I am neither a camera, nor one of
the "ground lubricated with tubes of colours."

I always strive to leave my "own fingerprint."
