“For me, painting is a space where thoughts and gestures intersect, where traces of doubt and immediacy can remain visible. My working method has a rhythm, a kind of physical thinking. The image is shaped by the memory of this movement. Instead of relying on formal consistency, I trust in the feeling of presence. It is what holds things together. In this space, my themes arise from moments of personal resonance and visual sympathy.” (Matthias Jun Wilhelm, 2025)
