"When Philosophy Becomes Water is not only the title of a group of works, but also the method of my watercolor painting. Control of the water from the point of dryness to flooding on the one hand, and the chance of the water's own life on the other, not only determine the technical aspect of painting, but also influence the realization of the original intentions. It is an interplay of controlling and being controlled. In this way, the water makes its way through the creative realities and has its say. Soaked papers, bursting pipes of ideas..." Willi Hinterleithner
