The term mindfuck originally comes from the film world of the 1990s – known from works such as Fight Club, Inception or Matrix.
What they have in common is that they play with your perception, mislead you and challenge your thinking.
But mindfuck doesn’t just work in the movies.
This moment can also occur in art – when the familiar suddenly changes and opens up a new perspective.
My art is not about you just looking.
It’s about you experiencing something.
Experience means that you don’t just become an observer – you become part of the artwork. My works want to be seen, felt, discovered. Colors that shine in the light and reveal their hidden life under black light. Structures that only gradually reveal themselves. Visual worlds that invite you to immerse yourself – and to pause for a moment.
Some works seem easily accessible at first. But if you take your time, you soon realize that there is more to it.
Hidden details, emotional clues, subtle irritations.
This is where the second part comes into play: Mindfuck.
I know – the word sounds provocative. And maybe a bit like a movie night with a plot twist.
But in my art it means the following:
A mindfuck is that mental moment when your perception stumbles briefly – and something new becomes possible as a result. When you start to question the familiar. When you sense that the picture tells a story that is not immediately tangible.
Not because it is complicated, but because it is told in layers.
Like a thought that only comes to you later.
This combination of experience and irritation, of emotion and depth of thought, is the core of my work.
I work with traditional materials such as (neon) oil paints, but I also use modern means – such as AI-generated image bases or digital processing. And I love it when these worlds meet: the classic, the new, the visible and the invisible.
Perhaps you will recognize yourself in one of my works. Maybe you’ll get an impulse that will stay with you for a while.
Or you might simply discover something that touches you without being able to immediately say why.
Experience & Mindfuck-Art is aimed at people who are prepared to question conventional ways of seeing things and are open to other perspectives. For all those who feel that art can be more than just decoration – namely a living space for insight, emotion and curiosity.
