Painting

Maximilian Welz

Germany

Maximilian Welz

From pure non-objectivity to various levels of representation, some works are clearly inspired by a specific place, others by “somewhere”; other works could refer to a moment or an impression – a distillation of thoughts, sensations and memories.

In particular, light and the phenomena and regularities it produces play a leading role in creating a familiar starting point or a supposedly familiar system within the painting.

The process of painting is a constant cycle of decision-making and self-discipline, in which thoughts are constantly played through and discarded. What is always present, however, is to give each work an emotional content and to empathise with the viewer, with his or her humanity. The work thus becomes an expression of the duality and fragility inherent in life.

Thus the works become more than just paintings – they become complete and individual objects, defined not only by the grain of the canvas and the application of paint. They are permeated by tensions in which familiar references and relationships are brought together in a new and clarified way.

This interplay of the familiar and the unfamiliar, of naturalness and synthesis, makes the works organic and yet strange in their totality.
