New Beginnings

Josef Winkler’s work undergoes a decisive transformation with the departure from figuration and the turn towards abstraction.

In this process, his painting evolves from representation towards an autonomous pictorial reality in which color, form, and structure emerge from an inner movement.

This artistic new beginning lies within this shift:
The image is no longer derived, but brought forth — as an open field of tension, condensation, and transformation.

Metamorphosis thus becomes the guiding principle of his work.
