When It Becomes Quiet

I. Approach
II. Expansion
III. Integration
IV. Clarity

These works did not arise from a new idea.
They emerged from what remained of what was already there.

In the series “The Quiet Densification,” the focus was on endurance—
allowing less, without knowing whether it would hold.
The forms became clearer, the images calmer—
and at the same time, the question arose of whether that was enough.

I did not know where this would lead.
I only sensed that I could not go back.

In this new series, something has changed.
Not because I altered anything,
but because my way of seeing has shifted.

The reduction is no longer uncertain.
It no longer needs to prove itself.
It simply exists.

The lines appear clearer,
not because they are more rigid,
but because they can stand on their own.

Colors recede or come forward
without needing to be balanced by me.
Relationships emerge
without being forced.

What was once open
begins to find its order.
Not visible as a system,
but perceptible as a connection.

I still work in the same way.
I begin without a plan.
I respond to what unfolds.

But something has shifted.
I doubt less
whether it is enough.
I recognize more readily
when something is right.

“when it becomes quiet” does not describe a state that is produced.
It is rather the moment
when doubt grows quieter
and something else becomes audible.

Perhaps this, too, is not only about
what can be seen,
but about what happens
when one no longer works against
what wants to reveal itself.

The Quiet Condensation

I did not plan these works.
I began—and I stayed.
As always, I did not know what would emerge.

As with all my works, I let myself drift.
I placed lines, allowed forms to take shape,
responded to what was already there.

In my earlier works, much was more open.
Circles, waves, flowing movements—
many forms that could connect without committing.

In this series, something has changed.
The lines have become clearer.
The forms align themselves.
Relationships no longer simply arise—they demand something.

It is less about expansion,
more about condensation.
Less about movement,
more about the moment in which everything is decided.

My previous images were light.
Open, almost playful.
These here are tighter, quieter, denser.

There were moments when I wanted to stop,
because it was “good” and because it was not “good.”
I did not know—was it enough?
Is this all that fills my image?
Is this all my soul has to say?

And at the same time, there was this quiet feeling:
There is still something more.

The most difficult part was not the painting,
but enduring it.
Not resolving things immediately,
not going back,
but staying where it becomes uncertain.

For me, the series “The Quiet Condensation” is a movement:
from emergence to decision.
From an open space
to a point where something becomes clear.

The final piece had not really been planned.
I only knew: something was still missing.
And I had to follow it.

Perhaps these works are not only about
what can be seen,
but about what happens
when one no longer avoids oneself.

Shapes Surface Flow… encompasses the interplay of clarity, space, and movement… a threefold relationship that supports and permeates Witzig’s work. The shapes…circles, triangles, and rectangles are for Witzig not just basic geometric elements, but living carriers of meaning and emotion. Each circle symbolizes for Witzig a core…a center…a source of energy and infinity. The triangles open directions and tensions, bringing dynamics into the image, while the rectangles provide stability and structure. Together they form an architectural language that is very precise but always open to interpretation. These shapes do not simply float in isolation but are embedded in a luminous expanse of warm orange and yellow tones, resembling a radiant sunrise. For Witzig, this surface is more than just a background… it is the living space in which everything unfolds. It creates atmosphere, depth, and connects the shapes into a harmonious whole. The warm colors represent warmth, energy, and joy of life; they are the emotional foundation of the composition. The flow is what brings Witzig’s images to life… the fine lines, the dynamic strokes, and the rhythmic arrangement of the small circles create movement and pulse. It is an organic flow, a dance of elements that fills static geometry with life. This flow reminds Witzig that even the seemingly rigid is in a state of flux and that movement and change are the essence of life. “Form. Surface. Flow.” is for Witzig a meditation on the balance between order and freedom…between structure and energy. It is an invitation to pause and perceive the quiet power of forms…to feel the space…to sense the flow and let oneself be carried by harmony. The work is understood as an impressive metaphor for the constant interplay between order and movement…a symphony in three acts that inspires and moves.

“What the storm does not take”…

is a memory of the sea…of the wind on my skin…of the salt that resonates within me. The deep, vibrating blue on the canvas…a mirror of my own inner turmoil…a phase in which thoughts, feelings, and impulses rage through me like a storm…I myself trapped in a storm…stirred up and full of motion…emotions colliding with each other like waves against rocks. The circles, lines, and spirals are like responses to the storm within me – visible impulses that dance, push, twist, and circle around each other as if they want to probe the pent-up energy. They are the echo of my excitement, my turmoil, my thoughts colliding like waves. Every line, every spiral is a breath, a pulse, a moment in which my chaos becomes tangible.

And yet, in the midst of all this movement, something remains untouched: a quiet spark, a soft echo, an essence that no storm can shake. Like a ray of light piercing through turbulent water, like a crystal that withstands the surf, it preserves calm, steadiness, an invisible strength that endures everything. In these untouched points lies the quiet certainty that what truly matters…memory…inner strength…a part of myself…cannot be destroyed or swept away by any storm.

For me, this painting is a space where chaos and calm, movement and stillness, excitement and memory meet. The forces that touch me… the energies that move me… they keep circling… endlessly, quietly, steadily… they set accents, organize, create rhythm. They act like thoughts that bring order while emotions remain free. Tension meets harmony… like energy meets structure. Movement and rest are possible at the same time and coexist… sometimes ambivalent… but always in between… the anchor points… small islands that the storm cannot carry away.

“Within the Realm of Possibility”

…a work that in the background creates an emotional undercurrent of warm yellow and orange tones, floating and shimmering diffusely…they carry what exists before any order…thoughts, feelings, inner impulses. The shapes lie upon this field, are held by it, and at the same time are put under tension…in this living, restless space, stability emerges, which is never static, but always in process.

The many triangles create a system of movement, order, and tension. They represent orientation, support, and structure, but they are not rigid…they overlap, collide, and their effect changes with color, size, and position…The circles introduce rhythm and vitality, oscillating among the triangles, breaking apart, connecting, or representing recurring thoughts and feelings. The combination of these elements creates a balance between control and unrest, between order and chaos…a picture that is simultaneously stable and in motion.

A visual and thematic focal point of the work, for me, is the round, closed neon circle with a thick red outline at the tip of the blue triangle, as well as the neon-orange semicircle that distinctly encloses the triangle’s tip. While the circle within the triangle acts like an inner core, almost dominant and rigid at the triangle’s peak, the semicircle remains open…incomplete and, above all, vulnerable…it resists order and demands attention…Both elements clearly express the ambivalence between chaos and order…between freedom and limitation…between control and inner impulses.

The personal development becomes especially intriguing when observing the large red triangle, whose tip, unlike in my previous works, points downward rather than upward. It feels heavier, grounding, and corporeal. The triangle…for me, it primarily symbolizes stability, yet here it emerges not through ascent, but through holding…bearing and enduring…the red reinforces this impression…it shows that this stability is not neutral, but emotionally carried and charged with tension. This is not about higher, further, faster…here it is about grounding, consciously accepting limits, and remaining in the here and now.

Overall, the painting reflects my inner state…stability that is not taken for granted, movement that simultaneously needs support, and order that only arises within the tension between chaos and control. The work negotiates the boundaries of structure, the dialogue between freedom and limitation, between control and inner impulse.

This is further emphasized and enhanced by the color design of the individual elements…Blue appears cool, analytical, structuring…Red carries energy, presence, and intensity…Yellow and orange create warmth, movement, and emotional depth. Light areas open up spaces in between, where nothing is closed off and everything remains possible.

Everything remains
within the realm of possibility –
not out of weakness,
but out of awareness.

The polite chaos in pastels is a gentle dance of shapes and colors, a space where disorder whispers softly. Circles touch each other like thoughts that brush past, overlap, disappear, and reappear. Lines add accents, guide without commanding – like paths we take within ourselves, sometimes confident, sometimes hesitant. Everything moves without anything colliding; everything speaks without shouting. The pastels carry the picture like a delicate whisper of the soul: pink, yellow, blue, and green tell of curiosity, hope, wonder, and quiet melancholy. They are not loud; they are polite – and that is precisely their charm: they open spaces where we can recognize our own little disorders, which we usually try to hide. Here, chaos is not shown as a threat but as an invitation. An invitation to let go, to listen, to pause, and to feel life in the subtle deviations. In every overlay, every shift, there is a story of its own – our story. The shapes speak of encounter, of movement, of the quiet joy in the in-between. This work is a portrait of the silent tensions that surround us and live within us: between order and freedom, safety and play, control and letting go. And therein lies its magic – a polite chaos that doesn’t disturb, but supports; that doesn’t confuse, but inspires. It is a moment that pauses, a rest for the eye, a breath for the soul.

“Heart & Circel…A glowing, yellowish space opens up, appearing like an emotional horizon. It radiates warmth, alertness, and security all at once – a field where everything is allowed: thoughts, memories, impulses, feelings. Here there is no pressure, no judgment, only space where joy can become visible. The many colorful circles practically dance across the background. They overlap, come forward and recede, interact with each other, and then drift apart again. To me, they are an expression of a heart that feels light and cheerful at the moment. Unlike in my usually more angular paintings, where triangles, squares, or rectangles make the mood feel heavy and inwardly restless, this work shows pure lightness. The circles are round, colorful, and movable – they represent moments of inner contentment and joy, a heart that feels open, alive, and light. The lines in the image – sometimes delicate and tentative, sometimes strong and connecting – provide structure without limiting. They accompany the circles, support the movement without capturing it. The open shapes and semicircles leave space for freedom and incompleteness, for everything that is alive in the moment without needing to be finished. This interplay shows that joy does not have to be static or perfect – it is dynamic, lively, fluid. In my perception, an emotional rhythm emerges: the background supports, the circles move, the lines uphold. The painting is like a moment of inner balance, where the heart is open, the emotions are light, and everything is free to unfold. ‘Heart and Circle’ describes exactly this interplay: the heart as a source of joy, the circles as an expression of this mood, embedded in a bright, luminous space. It invites you to pause, to feel your own joy, to let yourself be carried by the colors and shapes, and to experience that the heart can be alive, open, and cheerful, and that joy can unfold without everything having to be perfect or ‘complete’.

Captured …this work was created during a phase that was strongly marked by both tension and calm within me. The pink, which dominates everything around it, acts like a background hum of my thoughts – gentle, almost comforting, and at the same time demanding. It radiates warmth, yet it is intense enough to make my inner restlessness visible. The subtle color nuances blend into each other, creating a sense of depth, as if emotions and thoughts are unfolding in layers. The shapes that move within it – circles, rectangles, triangles – do not appear as fixed structures, but as attempts to hold myself together, to bring order to myself, without truly having control. They mirror my own loops, my inner repetitions, my constant striving for stability in a state that is, by nature, still far too often unstable. There is no center, no clear point of rest. Everything presses in on me at once, everything demands attention. Yet right in this chaos, I feel how I try to hold on… because I desperately want and need to… because I can… I know I have the strength to organize myself… every line, every circle, every edge feels like an act of inner cohesion, like a quiet attempt to create balance where nothing holds on its own. The image reflects for me the tension between delicacy and strength, between grace and burden, between letting go and holding on. It shows that stability is not a state, but a conscious, active process…an achievement that requires attention, patience, and energy. At the same time, it conveys a quiet beauty – the beauty of the moment in which something is held firmly despite all resistance. I recognize not only the outer form in it, but also my own inner self…the struggle for balance, the holding of fragility, the bearing of tension, and the ability to remain anchored in oneself despite everything. The work thus becomes a mirror of my own psychological landscape – a field of control and letting go, order and movement, support and freedom. And that is precisely the core of what moves me most: the conscious holding on, the quiet strength that makes it possible to bear everything in the moment. It is this mix of effort, delicacy, inner strength – and the gentle yet intense pink that holds everything together like an emotional field… that is what makes the work and perfectly captures the title ‘Firmly Held’.

‘State X’ describes an inner moment in which contradictory forces are at work simultaneously. Order is being established, while at the same time it is questioned and in the next moment completely torn apart. ‘State X’ is a snapshot of inner simultaneity. Structure, movement, and stillness occur simultaneously and exist in a fragile tension with one another, without resolving or dissolving. Geometric shapes and lines refer to the attempt to establish stability, orientation, and control. At the same time, circular movements disrupt this order and open the image to a need for expansiveness, breath, and inner peace. No element ultimately prevails. Everything remains present, everything claims space. In this way, a state of heightened density emerges, in which opposites are not reconciled but consciously held side by side. The work shows no endpoint and no solution. ‘State X’ remains open – as an honest depiction o

“Between the Waves”
This work is strongly influenced by my time off in Fuerteventura over
the past few weeks. It shows no destination, no solution, no end point.
It insists on the in-between. It does not depict tranquility, but rather the condition for
tranquility… namely, completeattention.

Of course, blue dominates… it is generally perceived as the color of
the sky and the ocean, but I did not choose it primarily for that reason
here, but rather as a space for depth and healing… a field in
between… between control and surrender… between thinking and
feeling. For me, blue is reliable… quiet and supportive… blue allows
me emotional distance while maintaining presence… I don’t know what it
is yet – but it’s allowed to be there.

The many circles are not to be understood as ornaments… for me, they
are tenses… marking my cyclical thinking and the return of the inner
self… not as a deficit, but as the structure of my consciousness. They
do not arise from planning, but from a spiritual necessity…the
circle…it has no beginning and no end…it conveys protection and
unity, but for me it also harbors the danger of “going around in
circles.”

So the work initially asserts itself as inner peace… but it repeatedly
exposes this in the geometric triangular elements that I have gradually
added… not everything is round and harmonious… and yet… the work
clearly shows the changed relationship to the inner peace so longed for.
I have rejected it as a goal… Inner peace is not my life… it is not
my purpose… For me, meaning does not arise from harmony but from
enduring contradictions… without categorizing myself… without
pigeonholing my rationality as the antithesis of emotion… rather, I
see it as a framework for this… it is like the wave… in between.
For me, the wave is not an event… it is a principle… it is not, but
it becomes. It is full of contrasts… it is high… it is deep… it is
calm… it is moving… there is no state that is permanent and the
same. All of life is a wave motion, and so I try to understand that
contrasts are not mistakes, but conditions of existence.
And yet… with the warm but energetic orange, I vehemently resist
neutralization once again… without pushing myself too impulsively or
dominantly into the foreground, but it would have been more consistent
to paint the revealing angular elements in blue or white tones.
And that is precisely why, for me, “Between the Waves” is not a place of
salvation… it is a place of perception… it is not identification
that is crucial, but observation… not stagnation, but awareness.
