Resonance

"Even though my portraits and face compositions show close-up views only, what interests me most, lies behind the cutouts, it is the peoples' world relationship. In painting them, I try to contemplate what in their lives resonates with my own or not. At best, I find myself changed. The paintings are a mere residue of that process. I can only wish that it may trigger a similar response in those that look at my works.” Meinolf Otto
