The paintings of Philipp Karl Moritz reveal themselves to be a silent and constant struggle between the abstract world and the object. His monochrome paintings display the purely suggestive power of colour and space, while his objects occupy a virtual room where notion is directed towards the world of things. His reduced pictorial compositions negotiate both the inner relationship of vibrant tones as such and the dissolution of conception.

‘The essence of a painting lies behind its surface; it sometimes seems impossible to me to get there with a brush. Courage and heart help at some point.’ (Philipp Karl Moritz)
