About this artwork
The composition of the picture arises from the principle of 'picture in picture'. Four image levels are nested into one another; one sees a skull, a hand holding a grapevine, another hand with a brush. The fourth picture shows a landscape. The surreal effects result from the fact that the brush appears to be painting the landscape from its picture plane and individual grapes have fallen out of the picture. The viewer should decipher the message of…
the still life independently. The picture is also a reflection on the freedom and limits of art.

« Each face conveys messages about the person I work into the picture. »
Captivated by art ever since he was a child standing amazed in front of his grandfather's photographic portraits, Norbert Mauritius has now enjoyed over two decades of life as a professional painter. With faces as his central theme, he composes figurative portraits marked by interesting combinations of form and colour.
