Fred Thieler: "Painting means for me to register the experience analogies and differences and to bring a product to emergence, which - released from the painting process - for the viewer as for the painter himself as a reflection of human Daseinserlebnisses presents and offers. Thus, 'painting' appears to me a process whose essence is explorative doing - explorative doing as a result of open analyses."
