5. Amor - Poder - Tiempo
Money for love
Picture information:
127 x 92cm, oil on canvas
The story:
Through my girlfriend at the time I gained very precise insights into her affluent Spanish family and their friends. As a result I was able to divine dramatic differences in the status and the treatment of the sexes. In contrast to my naïve German view, the Spanish men were outwardly always very family orientated. However, when faced with any other women they would become extremely macho and all of them without exception had a mistress.
Therefore in the picture created on this theme, there is a wallet positioned on the oversized hood of a Porsche. Loose modernly-coloured mussels are spilling out of the wallet. These mussels are the currency especially designed for this theme and symbolise how men expend a good portion of their wealth for love.
It is particularly men with ample amounts of money that are very popular with the ladies - hence the Porsche as a symbol. Mussels in different seasonal colours show that it’s about more than just one woman who can change from season to season.

The picture clarifies the fact that true happiness in a relationship is not dependent on the amount of money or personal status of the partner, but on their personality.
"Amor - Podor - Tiempo" (Love - Power - Time) portrays the link between "The Crowning Point of Creation" and "The Lord of the Crown". As a result I have consciously chosen a different format for this picture in order to show my idea, illustrating a hood rather than a table edge, to advantage.
