Die Geschäfte der Menschheit zerstören immer weiter die Natur, so dass hier im Bild nur ein schmaler Spalt Himmel noch frei ist. Zwischen Flügel und Hochhaus ergibt sich die Zeit fünf vor voll. die zurückgedrängte Natur passt sich aber an: die Natur, hier symbolisiert durch die Schneeeule, wird grösser, verlässt ihre angestammten Räume und beginnt Jagd auf den Menschen zu machen, der die Natur bislang nicht mit eingerechnet hatte. Es ist jedoch fast zu spät. Die Natur muss der Fluchtpunkt sein, weswegen dieser hier mit dem Auge der Eule zusammenfällt.

The economics of the mankind destroy more and more the natural surroundings. This is symbolized in this picture by a small piece of heaven which ist still free to see. Between the owls wing and the skyscraper You may detect the time 5 to full hour, which means time is running out. However, nature starts to adapt; nature, here symbolized by the owl, is getting larger, leaves its previous habitat and starts hunting men. Men have only very rarely taken account of nature in their business. Thus, now the time is running out. However, nature must be the vanishing point. This is symbolized here by the fact that all trajectories point to the owls eye, which falls together with the pictures vanishing point.

I was born in Western Gemany in the vicinity of Cologne in 1960. With about 5 years I started to paint. When I was 15 I got oil colors and made my first paintings in this technique.  

After school I studied medicine in Aachen and Cologne. Thereafter I specialized in pharmacology, clinical pharmacology and toxicology and started my career in science at the University of Cologne. With 38 years I became Professor at the University of Cologne. After stays in Graz and London, I moved to Eastern Germany to the University of Halle, and 2001 to the Leipzig University. In 2015 I became head of the public health administration at Altenburg, Thuringia, and work as a physician.

Besides these medical and scientific activities, I always kept on painting in various techniques, mostly watercolor, oil and pastel. May current interest is the interplay of light and shadow, in pariticular I am fascinated by the gothic windows of cathedrals. Moreover, I am focused on nature, animals and birds, and the ecologicals problems produced by mankind. Another topic is religion, and the aspects of human living. Painters who fascinated me were Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Marc, Dali, and Van Gogh. Among watercolor artists I like Homer Winslow, Whistler, and Paul Dmoch.
