LIFE OF HERMANN ALFRED SIGG
"I believe that tranquility and the meditative state harbor a vital force, the force of expression."
Sigg's universal images are a synthesis of his outer sight and inner vision. This search for inner vision is a search for human insights... a search for what life is all about... a search for the essence... and he makes this search through art. An abundance of life experiences informs his search:
