• Liberation from time: Every picture, every statute

captures the evanescent moment and “snatches it out
of time” (Arthur Schopenhauer).
• Liberation from the materiality of an object: The
artistic representation of an object as a painting

or sculpture separates its form from its original
matter. Ore, stone, or wood turns into a human body.
Abstract, non-figurative art can take us to the realm

• Liberation from gravitation, which the artist can,
seemingly, revoke in paintings and sculptures.
• Liberation from colour. The coercion of this modality
to always having to see something in a certain colour,

can be mastered by the painter through deliberately
changing the colours of objects or turning them into
shades of grey.
• The knowledge about death is an internal modality

which only human beings have. Depending on his
topical focus, it may occupy the painter/sculptor
during the (long and often tedious) process of carving,
chiselling, and modelling. He will try to bring his

emotions into the sculpture, being inwardly shaken –
and sometimes with tears in his eyes.
