About this artwork
In 1986, M.Bargholz undertook a journey of several weeks to the PR of Mongolia.
Especially the visit to the only intact monastery in Ulan Bator changed his thinking. This experience: the old temple, the monks, the prayers, the countless Buddha figures, the believers - all of this was completely overwhelming for Bargholz, and he only mentally processed these impressions in the months that followed.
His paintings "Shaman Dance" and "Animal Fates"… reflect his artistic preoccupation with mythological and spiritual themes. The spiral - as a symbol of eternal return, reincarnation and the connection of different worlds - appears in both pictures. Just as the shaman is intensely connected with the animal world, so are the animals with humans.

Matthias Bargholz is an artist based in Germany whose paintings have been exhibited nationally and in Brazil. In addition, his art has been featured in publications such as the Ostsee Zeitung and the Hagenower Kreisblatt. Originally inspired by classical modernism, Bargholz views the line as an independant and active element in a composition, as well as being "the direct expression of intuition and the infinite possibilities of form". His distinctive pieces are created with acrylics and oils on canvas.
