Willi Siber’s works defy clear categorization. Positioned between painting, sculpture, and object art, they open up a fascinating dialogue between form, color, light, and space. At the heart of his artistic practice lies the question of how perception is formed and how it continuously changes through the movement of the viewer.
The starting point of his works is often the careful observation of natural phenomena—reflections on water surfaces, organic structures, or the shifting qualities of light within a space. Rather than translating these impressions in an illustrative manner, Siber uses them as a catalyst for an independent exploration of materiality and visual impact. His works emerge through lengthy experimental processes in which materials such as wood, steel, resin, and lacquer lose their conventional function and develop an almost autonomous presence.
Particularly characteristic is his treatment of surfaces. Reflective epoxy resins, chrome-lacquered elements, and relief-like structures create works that transform with every change of perspective. Light becomes not merely a means of visibility but an active component of the artwork itself. Colors begin to glow, shift, or seemingly dissolve; volumes appear simultaneously solid and immaterial.
The result is a body of work with extraordinary visual presence—works that do not confirm perception but continually challenge and redefine it.
