Original artwork description:

IN THE LAND OF GODS AND MONSTERS
2017
150 (h) x 120 (w) x 4,5 cm
acrylic and oil on canvas

In this land called soul, nothing is free of doubt, every step is a highwire act, a difficult balance between heaven and hell, between good and evil, right and wrong, a neverending trip between summer and winter, night and day and between Olymp and Hades. I remember Friedrich Nietzsche and his thoughts: 'God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives; who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?'

"To live is to suffer,
to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering."
Friedrich Nietzsche

This piece is a true LARGE-SIZED PAINTING. For a large-scale, aesthetic and colourful impression on your wall AND as my authentic and personal artwork with an artistic subsurface message. It is for sale as solitaire or as the left part of the triptych REMEMBER THE DREAMS WE ONCE HAD.

I use exclusively oil and acrylic colours, canvas and wooden frames in a professional museum quality. The painting wears my signature on the front and is signed, entitled and dated on the backside. The XL-sides are black painted (beautiful contrast). The painting is ready to hang (on the backside: high-quality iron plates with metal inserts and nylon rope for gallery use), unframed and doesn’t need a frame or any additional surface treatment. The piece will be safely shipped in a custom wooden crate. It will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a cover letter.

Please note: In context pictures are not necessarily to scale and are for illustrative purposes only. If you have any questions about this painting or any other piece, feel free to contact me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks so much for taking an interest in my work.

Warm wishes,
Christian
