"Colors, contrast, and movement merge to create a world that captivates the viewer. I would describe my work as emotional landscapes. I want to create places that draw the viewer out of the current moment. Memories tend to lose details and develop into vague, a blurred assemblage of pictures and emotions, like our dreams. I often try to re-experience moments of the past. My work shows exactly this phenomenon. An assemblage of feelings and thoughts, with their interrelated dynamics, melts together into a world that you can move in. Often inspired by an emotional memory, a dream, or a paradise I wish to visit."  Sebastian Merk
