Creation Process of Nature and Technology
Christoph Pauschenwein's "Nature" series systematically transforms naturalistic depictions into both analogue and digital abstractions, creating a fascinating dialectic between the opposites of naturalistic painting and abstraction.
His artistic engagement with nature, documented photographically and sketched during excursions, forms the foundation of his works. The resulting oil and
acrylic paintings, utilizing classic motifs such as landscapes, plants, and waters, are characterized by detailed execution. Through the systematic deconstruction of these images and their transformation into abstract compositions, Pauschenwein opens new perspectives on the perception of nature in art.
The oil and acrylic paintings stand artistically on par with their abstract
sibling images and make a striking impression when juxtaposed directly.
The tension between figurative reference and formal experimentation
creates the allure of the works and challenges viewers to individually engage
with the multilayered relationships between art and nature.

For me, nature is less a motif than the starting point of an observation.
Photography, drawing and painting allow me to capture structures, rhythms and changes that I encounter in landscapes,
plants, water surfaces or the smallest details. I am interested not only in what I see, but in how my perception changes
as I approach a subject, shift the frame or alter the scale.
In painting, these observations are carried further. Colour, surface, layering and material transform the original image
and open up new states between representation and abstraction. A detail can become a landscape, a structure can become a space. What initially appears familiar can shift through the process and develop a different readability.
I do not understand analogue and digital work as separate fields. Observations can move from photography into painting,
from there into digital transformation and back again into analogue form. What matters to me is not the medium itself,
but the possibilities it opens up for a particular exploration.
