The Sigel Alps
The Sigel Alp exists: It is a beautiful large meadow on a high plateau within the Alpstein, a mountain range in the east of Switzerland. For seven months a year the prairie is snow-covered. But early in summer a violent explosion of small alpine flowers takes place. In just a few days the once dull area bursts with colours. When I went there for my first summer hike I was speechless seeing this sudden radiant abundance of colours.
It seemed like an LSD flash. Moreover, the tiny flowers of different sorts grouped together in what seemed like a strangely ordered rhythm. As soon as I got back I started to work on this painting as is the case when I am, time and again, struck by the recurring Harmony that we find in nature.

The odd beat percussions on the Jazz Musician Dave Brubeck Quartet's album Time Out were inspired by the sound of machines. I am a great fan of Brubeck's music: I admire the way he created an elegant harmony and a cool melodious and playful sound out of odd beat movements. Trying to express my feelings when I listen to the harmony in his music, I designed a dance of elements that pretend be to squares but are not. A strangely odd, rugged, but lively and joyful rhythm emerged.
