Lubo Kristek

“One could hardly imagine a more inseparable and fruitful unity of art and architecture. Where could we find, in the field of art in architecture, a comparable example in Rhineland over the last twelve years?”

“Therefore, with his painting, Kristek intentionally awakens the viewer’s fantasy, instead of presenting something ready-made. From the example of the Penzing cemetery chapel, we can see that modern painting fulfils its function even in the sacral field.”

“… if the child in man atrophies - he loses his fantasy, if mankind aborts fantasy – it will die out! …”

“Art is nothing abstract, theoretical. We cannot detach it or set it apart. Art must live, and I want to be the intermediary of life.”

“Until man understands relativity, his gateway to the Absolute remains closed.”
