Two topics that continually capture the focus of Alberto are the intricate balance and relationship between chaos and order; while the other is the silent collaboration between the conscious and unconscious areas of the mind.

This piece, from his Innovative Expressionism collection, exemplifies both of these topics. What appears to be a chaotic composition at first slowly reveals itself as an orchestra of the pieces; whilst the bits of human form seem to suggest we have many eyes observing this chaotic orchestra.

All of this, and we haven't even discussed colour usage.

What are your thoughts on this piece? How does the team in your head interpret the scene?

Message from Volker: Losing touch with ourselves leads us to also lose touch with the reality of of our impact on the world around us. With the loss of true self knowledge, we have put too much responsibility on the limited experience of the ego.

The Bayer-Hochhaus building. When it was built in 1963 it was the tallest building in Germany with 32 floors and a height of 122m/400ft.

This was one of many projects that E.A Volker contributed to with his engineering expertise. One of his proudest projects, the German born engineer often looks back in wonder that he had the opportunity to contribute to such an architectural and engineering feat.
