Ohne Titel, 2011

The person(the big brown stain in the center) is constantly changing. It was occupying the whole canvass before. Now, because of the changes in the surrounding environment it receded to the current position. We can see forces, events and circumstances that influence the person (the painting elements around the brown figure).  Main principles are being developed (blue, yellow, red loops on the brown spot). They create a moral skeleton of the person.

Composition, 1962

Things that happen to us in life are shaping our personality. Every event breaks apart a layer of inside (a black triangle in the bottom left center, black figure in the top center and a big gray arrow with navy end in the upper right corner). The broken pieces are trying to get back together like a planet that builds itself from the star leftovers. The pieces are not fit well as they were before.So our personality is a mosaic of our character and events.
