我用作品反映现实，它是当今世界的镜像。但它不是在反映外在的表面，不是拟态世界的抽象化，而是内在构造的反映。它源自感受，反映了时间，也就是说，是今天的密码。

Works of art reflect the world. My works are also mirror images of today. However, it is not a reflection of the external appearance, not an abstraction of the mimetic world, but a reflection of the inner constitution. My works arise from sensations. They reflect the sense of time, so to speak, and represent ciphers for today.

迈克尔·瓦格纳1953年生于德国，1981年开始从事艺术创作，最初在表现主义范围内，比如绘制风景和人物，随后将重心转向对色彩及其可能性的探索。在这条道路上，迈克尔开启了新的世界。几何体结合色彩，成为平等的伙伴，构建起一种稳定和延续。我没有突出色彩表达性，只在意它纯粹的视觉意义。它不会“跳入”空间，但具有分量，对作品产生影响。
Born in Heidelberg in 1953, Michael Wagner used every free minute for artistic studies during his studies of social work at the Mannheim University, and then concentrated entirely on the fine arts after completing his degree. Since 1981 he lives and works as a freelance painter, graphic artist and photo artist (self-taught) in Heidelberg. While Michael Wagner initially worked in the representational field, depicting landscapes and people, he gradually developed an artistic conception that focuses on color and its manifold possibilities. On this path Michael Wagner opened up the world of the constructively concrete. Geometry joined color, became an equal partner and provided stability and continuity. Thus color was not given an expressive quality, but rather a purely visual meaning. It does not “jump” into the space, but it has a high presence, a great impact potential. Michael Wagner designs his works on this basis, trusting in the power of color and geometry.
