These here are my visual translations of the three parts of the Freudian psyche: Id, Superego and Ego.
Let’s see what you can see in the structures and forms… Like a Rorschach trip to our fundamental personal basics.

Ah, by the way, I added a third „character“: Olaf. He is a friendly and cute guy, living in our mind without being noticed. A bit naive but always in a good mood. Responsible for Dejavus and the „je ne sais quoi“ in our lives.

Wonderful Pianist Paul Hankinson and Stefanie Marcus from the label Traumton asked me if they could use Psyche, No. 2 as cover-art for Paul’s album “Dear Emily”.
Of course I said yes. It’s awonderful piece of music!
