“As always in my paintings, each viewer can and should look individually at what he can discover and thus find his own personal interpretation of the picture. If I were to say what scene is shown to me here, my title already says it: A world is just coming into being. In the middle the sun, on two sides water and everywhere ether as the original substance of all known life. To the right of the sun, three beings that seem to float between everything and let a kind of seed or eggs flow out of their nose, eyes and mouth into the room. The seahorse family is complete and above the scene a jellyfish with a fly curled around its neck. The snake is shedding its skin to become a heavenly miraculous creature. Above him, an all-protecting small, delicate figure with a large hand. God?
The dragon and the turtle - probably formed from one - are just separating their bodies into individuals. At this point it becomes very interesting in the hanging of the two pictures, which are framed in frameless picture holders - depending on the distance between the two on the wall, the more the expression changes.”
