THE
DEVIL DOES NOT SLEEP
“
Consider this: The power to do is all that we can set
against
the forces of life “
The
background leads us into a mystic esoteric world.
The
desire of man for explanation has led him to create
various
theories to explain the unexplainable.
One
can find happiness and satisfaction in the spiritual
world,
but in the middle lurks seduction, for the devil
does not sleep
EYETOPAZ
“Once you learn to see, you discover that you are alone
and surrounded by follyt”
The rhombic form of the 213 eyes appear to the beholder
as if they were the facets of a precious stone through
which the value and the wonder ofbeeing are
manifested.
This picture shows the depth to which the eye can
penetrate.
The power of the tiger almost leaps out of the picture.
The fundamental element of life -water - is abundantly
present. Harmony between man and beast is made visible
here.

TODAY
"Only
by loving this earth mth a steadfast passion, can
you
shake offsadness”
For
all the stupidity we engage in, this world and this life
are
still a magnificent gift. We should treat it carefully,
with
an eye to the future.
The
endeavour to express feelings creatively is depicted
in
the centre triangle. In the background we see the
manifold
attempts at giving form to our world.
Just
because so much is imperfect, we should not give up
hope;
it is only when we cease our striving to improve
things
that we come out losers.
THE
HOLE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
“Through
the hole between the worlds you must travel"
to
attain the
wholeness of your self “
The
beholder works from the perspective of the spheres.
The
round hole renders an aspect of the emotional world.
The
yellow plain expresses the dangerous unpredictable
journey
to the self which the bald warrior seems to be
undertaking.
One
should accept several visions of the world during
this
search for the self.
The
three women suggest the different angles from which
life
can be viewed.
The
eagle symbolizes the whole.
DRAGONYEARS
"Energy only comes when we accept our fate without remorseff"
This picture was created in 1988. According to the
Chinese calendar 1988 was the year of the dragon. The
colours are those of fire; fire brings destruction or
pleasant warmth. One says of the dragon that he lives in
a castle on a hill within his own dreamworld, is
surrounded by the requisites of magic, for he loves its
shine and power. He enjoys the company of the tiger, the
symbol of power and nobility; neither does he like to live
without the snake, the symbol of beauty and sex.
THE
BLIND
"To be a human beeing means to be condemned to this
world. Our vanity sometimes leads us to believe that
there are two worlds but this is only our vanity, for us
humans there is but one world and we must face it".
This picture mirrors the dance around the golden calf.
Whoever is lead by mammon is easily consumed by
avarice.
The upper half depicts the feeling of horror that awaits
us.
The lower half shows the warnings and seductions of the
material world.
DESERT STORM
"You have to walk the tight rope between the terror and
the wonder of being human”
This picture was created during the Kuwait crisis. In the
centre of the painting we can see the prize for which the
powerful are fighting. The left side represents the world
of Islam. Despair, demagogy and destruction are shown
there. The fleeing soldiers symbolise the feeling of the
people. Fear, symbolized by a lizard, also has a natural
place on this side of the picture.
The right side of the picture shows the western world,
which draws its power from energy and technology. The
playing card signals the dangers inherent in technology.
The blue angel stands for the idea that the end justifies
the means.
If mankind could awaken and surmount all its difficulties
with clearsight and confidence, the consequences of
madness could be avoided.
