"A picture is worth a thousand words. So they say. It may be true. But it doesn't have to be... For me, art is a boundless platform for dialog. I consciously seek this out and therefore welcome all feedback, criticism and inspiration. That is also the reason for my exhibitions and readings. It provides motivation and perspective, dynamics and interaction, opportunities and lots of entertainment." SAXA

Pictures say more than a thousand words, sometimes more than three thousand. They can enlighten or transfigure, create clarity or irritation, reach the head or the stomach… or both. Words stand for language, for communication and for an exchange. And they have power and influence – both consciously and unconsciously. Words never stand for themselves, but for opinions, views, feelings or facts. However, they only acquire their true value when they are received and/or reciprocated. Dialogue is the highest form of communication.
