“In recent years I have been occupied with mastering the human being in the form of a labyrinth constructed with just one closed line in an empty undefined space. The duplicated labyrinth intertwines with figures of black and white lines, leading to the expansion of the theme and simultaneously carrying the metamorphosis of the human being… These works polarize the elementary feelings of human existence such as breathing and cessation of breathing, being closed and escaping outside… The elements of the painting move between man, animal or solid body into a state without definition of time and without connection to place. But also so that the idea of the cause of reality becomes visible.” (Armin Guerino)
