"A sneaky paradise, which stands before us loudly and not at all shyly, is filled by three people; it is self-confident and direct, and yet again - and this is where the sneakiness comes through - individual facets are only recognizable at second glance, there it sneaks up from behind and makes us stumble, only to catch us immediately afterwards in a lustfully depraved manner, completely pastel-colored and not unknown. In almost every work there is a small spark of utopia and the longing for a paradisiacal world. And so it has been since the beginning of time, in every epoch of art history, paradise enters the stage now and then, as a longing for a transcendent varnish it meanders around the central question of religious ideas, heavenly glory and a purer reality.
