In Ode ma Musis, the central themes of my artistic practice—transformation, metamorphosis, and the exploration of in-between spaces—condense into a powerful, monochromatic composition. The work unfolds in an intense, almost glowing palette of reds, both organic and energetic in nature. Like an apparition from another dimension, the form emerges from the ground of the painting, a hybrid being that refuses to reveal itself in a fixed identity.
My painting is not concerned with depicting reality, but with making visible what lies beyond immediate perception—the “behind.” Ode ma Musis is a momentary still from an ongoing morphic process, a frozen state within continuous change. Lines and structures appear to shift, as if they might transform again in the next instant. Layers of paint, fine lines, and fragmentary forms create a tension between precision and dissolution, between stability and departure.
The work is thematically connected to my series RaumZeitMetamorphosen and Phoenix Photons. As in those works, I am interested here in the motif of a “messenger” from other realms: a presence that returns with something—not as a decipherable message, but as an energetic frequency. Ode ma Musis is less a depiction than a resonant space in which emotional, intuitive, and mental layers intersect.
The radiant red color field amplifies the sensorial and bodily impact of the piece. Here, red functions not merely as a color, but as a carrier of intensity, urgency, and vitality—as a space where energy becomes visible. It also refers to what is innermost, pulsing, and essential for life.
For the planned exhibition, Ode ma Musis is significant because it condenses the essence of my artistic approach: the attempt to develop a visual language that does not aim for clarity, but for openness and multiplicity. The work invites the viewer to enter a mode of perception beyond familiar coordinates—to step into a terrain where forms, lines, and colors do not explain, but instead trigger a response.
In this sense, Ode ma Musis is part of an ongoing artistic research: the search for images that act like fragments of a larger, unseen narrative. It is a work that cannot be fully deciphered, but instead sets an inner movement in motion—an invitation to see the unknown not as something to fear, but as a realm of possibility.
