Works of art reflect the world. My works are also mirror images of today. However, it is not a reflection of the external appearance, not an abstraction of the mimetic world, but a reflection of the inner constitution. My works arise from sensations. They reflect the sense of time, so to speak, and represent ciphers for today.  

Thinking and feeling, geometry and color - between these poles I explore my artistic possibilities, although with all seriousness, playful and poetic components are always involved. In this way I develop a visual world that has its roots in the strictness of the constructive and concrete, but at the same time is also based on individuality and spontaneous intuition.

Michael Wagner was born in Heidelberg in 1953. During the course of his social work studies at Mannheim University, he used every free minute for artistic studies, so that he could concentrate entirely on the fine arts after completing his degree. From 1981, he lived in Heidelberg as a freelance painter and graphic artist (self-taught).

Today, he works in the field of vivid abstraction, favoring color as a wonderful medium, as a sonorous language.
