Mythologies, especially the ancient Greek-Roman ones, are a strong source of my artistic inspiration. What fascinates me is that their statements are universal and still relevant today. The people and gods depicted there, their conflicts and behaviour patterns: today we find exactly the same and are as surrounded by them as the ancient Greeks and Romans were.
Numerous myths can be found in the work ‘Metamorphoses – Transformations’ (ca. 3-8 AD) by the Roman poet Ovid. I find it particularly exciting that they are selected and arranged from the point of view of transformation, because for Ovid the entire world is in a constant state of flux. He describes how human beings became plants, animals, stones, rivers, stars and many other forms, because “everything is in a state of flux” (cuncta fluunt), everything that exists, was once different; nothing remains as it is.
That’s why I’ve been working for several years on illustrating Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’. My concern, too, is to represent the fleeting, movement as seen in flowing water, reflections, light reflexes, flickering fire. But it is also reflected in my working method itself, be it in painting or etching: here, too, I like to let chance do what it wants to do.  
For there is nothing permanent; the only permanent thing is change.
