Artist Statement:
Pigs have somehow always
played an important part in my
life. I’ve gotten to know them
at an early age. My aunt had
‘family pigs’ (not for their
meat!) when I was a young boy.
She also had a Vietnamese
potbellied pig called Porkie,
and from the beginning I was
drawn to this creature because
of its specific looks,
intelligence and character. At
a later point in my life I
started to combine my painting
and drawing skills with my
love for pigs and one thing
led to another. The most
important reason why I
dedicate my work to the pig is
because this animal deserves
positive attention more than
any other animal. It is too
often misunderstood, taken for
granted or just seen as pork.
I think it is my duty to try
and purify the bad image of
the pig together with other
pig friends. With my pig art I
want to show how pigs truly
are. Instead of simply dirty,
lazy, dumb or fat: clean,
playful, intelligent or lean.
But also loving, colourful,
diverse, beautiful, warm,
social, wild, dangerous,
courageous and more…in short:
an animal worth to be seen and
to get to know!
