Michael Wagner

"Born in Heidelberg in 1953, I used every free minute for artistic studies during my studies of social work at the University of Applied Sciences in Mannheim, and then concentrated entirely on the fine arts after completing my studies. Since 1981 I live and work as a freelance painter, graphic artist and photo artist (self-taught) in Heidelberg.

While at the beginning I worked in the representational field, depicting landscapes and people, I gradually developed an artistic conception that focuses on color and its many possibilities. On this way the world of the constructive concrete opened up to me. Geometry joined color, became an equal partner and provided stability and continuity. Thus color was not given an expressive quality, but a purely visual meaning. It does not "jump" into the space, but it has a high presence, a great impact potential. On this basis I design my works, trusting in the power of color and geometry."

"Works of art reflect the world. My works are also mirror images of today. However, it is not a reflection of the external appearance, not an abstraction of the mimetic world, but a reflection of the inner constitution. My works arise from sensations. They reflect the sense of time, so to speak, and represent ciphers for today.                 

Thinking and feeling, geometry and color - between these poles I explore my artistic possibilities, although with all seriousness playful and poetic components are always involved. In this way I develop a visual world that has its roots in the strictness of the constructive and concrete, but at the same time is also based on individuality and spontaneous intuition.  "
