Artist, Rebel, Rule Breaker, Innovator, Traveler

Jacob's German/Austrian heritage gave him discipline and a sense of purpose. His research distillation manifests in his work through various unconventional methods. Jacob likes to have his polytonal art be invisible avant-garde.

"I need to feel the paint, smell, touch, to absorb it in a very meditative like way."


STATEMENT
My work features small, medium and also large scale paintings on a very wide variety of surfaces. I use canvas, paper, wood, and several nonconventional surfaces such as time worn wood, vintage papers, and antique textiles, and metal findings that I have collected over the years during my travels. I often paint with tools that I have developed myself or use unconventional ones. At times I refuse to use brushes and painter's knives and use only things from everyday life in an adapted form to create my art. My sculptural works feature beach wood, textile surfaces in combination with colored resin, and a selection of antique findings.

In order to see ourselves clearly in the here and now, it is important to understand why we had already made the decisions manifesting here, long before. It is not enough to look at the moment to understand what is happening. The sum of our decisions, made aeons ago, draw our collective reality (and our individual reality). Social conditions limit the unlimited space. The gene|rational memory is present to foster creativity in order to overcome the limits and restraints build by injustice and unfair social conditions.

The Global Generational Consciousness can be researched and proven in so many scientific fields. There are different names for the sum, for the essence. Different labels for single processes and phenomena. I could argue on the level of physics, or dive into the depths of philosophy and psychology. But it is and remains the human being who shapes this reality like no other.

The pursuit of truth in freedom, for freedom's sake - I lost, but was not defeated, grew stronger, became more aware, became more grateful. I won, but I am not a winner.


CV‍
Born in Germany in the 1970s and raised within a conservative family with a heritage in the pharmaceutical industry, he left home early and chose the hard lessons of life over the convenience of a luxurious lifestyle. Besides studying History of Art (KGI RUB), Jacob moved to Vienna to study color psychology. His studies led to further projects and intensive research on particular color frequencies found in plant extracts. He fell in love with nature's botanical creations. This brought Jacob to the study of physics with a focus on biophotons. To heal the tragic drama in which members of his family met their deaths, he travelled around the world. This journey led him along mysterious paths, let him experience unimagined miracles and meet wonderful people. He eventually achieved the healing of generations through his relentless search and longing to reunite his family on two continents. He calls this miracle a gift of God and the essence of the Global Generational Consciousness.

„This is no story of death and grief. It is a story of love and learning. This is a story of reunion and how a forced separation for more than forty years was healed by a miracle. These are the first words of my movie script in progress. It seems to me that just now, in this time, this story needs to be told."

He embraced even the hardest of times, full acceptance of which transformed his experiences, and this strong resulting energetic vortex into positivity and compassion, and ultimately into art and design.

"In the 1990s I was fortunate enough to count Sir Peter Ustinov and Prof. Luigi Colani amongst my friends. Their wisdom and professional support were a most welcome gift. Sir Peter Ustinov, among others, initially supported me to set up my research in the field of the Global Generational Consciousness.

2014 - Collaboration with Tony Ward who honored my work with an extensive photo production and two portraits of me.

2020 - Further gallery representations in Italy and Malta.

In my interior design career, together with my clients, my team and I soon won several global awards for our holistic design approach based on my research and the principles of nature.

I have worked as the overall creator of distinctive private properties with a focus on longevity and sustainable eco tourism projects globally. Developed methods in the fields of longevity in cooperation with ETH Zurich in 2004 and auto response learning (deep programming for aviation pilots in emergency situations) in 2013.

Since a couple of years I focus on intergenerational responsibilities applied to human rights in order to create a more sustainable human rights framework spanning over a multi-generational horizon.

I inspire the development of a further advanced human rights framework, that integrates the needs of more than one generation only. Thus protecting future generations and preserving earth for further generations.
