"Most of my
paintings are done in the way of the surrealist painters, intuitively.
Some people say my work is often
depressing and pessimistic, with the emphasis on death, blood,
overcrowding, strange beings and so on, but I don't really think it is.
There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for
it."
(H. R. Giger)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"For me, drawing and painting became soul-crafting.
Feeling the
need to contribute transformative images of beauty to the collective imagination,
my imagery would develope an implicit antithesis to H. R. Giger's artwork.
I felt driven to show in my work the liberation of the body and soul out
of the dark depths of decay and perverse eroticism. By sublimating the
erotic towards an angelic sensuality and by using ascension and rebirth
symbolism, a sacred eros would emerge as the predominant theme of my work.
Not the erotic as simply the sexual, but as our bodily communion with the
living flow and rhythms of energy. I can feel this primordial living energy
flow through me as I paint, forming into the sensual movement of a transfiguring
biosophic flame that flows through and around the figures in my imagery, suspending
them in an ecstatic moment, an eternal dance poised on the threshold of a
new birth. It is the archetypal dance of the sphere and the serpentine movement
of form. The dance of the spermatozoa and the ovum, the serpent and the egg,
the dragon and the pearl and the life giving waters of the comet and the sacred
ground of the earth."
