Painting means for Roland Fürstenhöfer to
represent the forms of the universe according to their own laws of harmony. When he paints, his whole feeling is concentrated in the tip of the brush. He is enthusiastic about the colourfulness and
variety of forms in the Oriental countries as well as about the culture of the Chinese and the North American Indians. This inspiration can be easily recognised in his colour etchings and mixed
techniques on paper, canvas and wood. Since he prefers the small format, he invites the viewer to come very close and to experience in his pictures what is happening in them. And when you get
involved in these worlds, you will reappear out of everyone with the wondrous feeling of being far away and still being yourself. In his pictures, Roland Fürstenhöfer likes to tell stories about
foreign cultures. Travel to European countries, North Africa, Arabia, Asia and North America has inspired him to poetic imagery.
