THE FIRST VIRTUE OF A PAINTING IS TO BE A FEAST FOR THE EYES. (Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863
The day will come when we print "EARTH" on our address labels. Earth is our home. Space is nature, our environment. Space exploration is the exploration of our environment, and the more we know about it the more we will see how precious it is and want to protect it. the fantastic qualify of the Universe and the absurdity of our existence fascinates me. My paintings are the expression of this fascination...an expression of my thoughts. they are my own windows into the Universe. Windows which I call into existence, images that are entirely mine. When they develop before my very eyes, and later when signed and hanging on the wall, I am more surprised than anyone. Andreas Nottebohm
