Thank you for the translation.
When i'm making abstract paintings or photos I'm searching the same thing: making that artwork alive, Kunst selbst! I love that 'selbst' in German, one word telling so much.
But at the end I interpret it trough my own feelings just to make that painting closer to others, but I know that was not my truth aim, although it may have something from me in it, cause we cannot separate the subject and object, especially when the object is made by subject.
Did I get your words right?
