Why does the system 'Earth' work at all ?

The painting, executed with oil paint on canvas presents a highly surreal scene that confronts the viewer with riddles and appeals to him in many ways. In the middle of the painting, the earth crashes down on itself in the form of a comet, which presents a fascinating contradiction. This cannot be answered at first. The unusual scenario challenges the viewer's imagination and invites profound reflections.

The mountain in the centre of the painting seems almost to be split as it yields to the tremendous force of the unexpected impact. This image creates an aura of confusion and makes the viewer ponder how the forces of nature or cosmic forces collide and work.

In the foreground of the scene is a lighthouse that seems to be rocking on the churning waves. This lighthouse stands as a symbol of orientation and stability in the midst of the stormy chaos. The blue waves, playing with impressive dynamics, capture the attention and create a captivating visual game.

The clouds that fill the sky are eccentrically executed and lend a certain unpredictability to the scene. The agitated cloud patterns reinforce the impression of a chaotic and at the same time fascinating happening in the sky.

Overall, the painting exudes an eerie and mysterious atmosphere. The combination of a plummeting comet, a caving mountain, a swaying lighthouse and roiling waves and clouds creates a scene full of tension and mystery. It is an image that both challenges and captivates the viewer, blurring the boundaries between reality and surreality.
