Detailed description
Picture "Over seven bridges" (2024)
The song "Über sieben Brücken musst du geh'n" by Karat was the inspiration for the picture. Accepting the adversities of life and preparing for them. Hence the knight on his steed. The castle as the destination of the journey, the longed-for land or state. I chose Marburg Castle because I live not far from it. It stands majestically and loftily above the town.

About Viktor Lau
I am more indebted to the surrealists. Like them, I also use sleep for my pictorial inventions.
This creates quite mysterious and absurd scenes on the canvas.
In addition to the surrealist side is the naturalistic landscape painting and socially critical aspects such as the environment and human existence issues a theme. Reflecting on world events and asking questions is more important than striking messages.
In my sculptures, the careful search is also crucial. The source material, stone or wood determine with, what should arise, the hidden in it make visible. Listen and correspond to what wants to emerge.
