Born in 1992 in Germany, Siegfried Max Berno lives and works in Berlin (Germany). In his work, he delves into the exploration of the mind, the creation of realities, and their connection to perception and encounters.

"In the warm darkness, a sound emerges. The mind begins to take shape and observe. Suddenly, light appears, and we open our eyes. In this moment of birth, we are unaware that we will never fully grasp the answer to 'why.'"

For Siegfried, the mind and its capacity to explore, imagine, and expand lay the groundwork for understanding existence. The mind is crucial in defining, thinking, directing, and functioning. Concepts such as "self" and "other" arise from the ability to interact, observe, and reflect on what is observed.

Although the mind itself is a concept, it holds the deepest truth regarding one's own reality, one's essence, and the act of creation.

Siegfried constructs abstract yet organic artworks that serve as gateways to inner worlds. He employs layering techniques, structures, and materials, allowing the artworks to emerge intuitively without following a predetermined order. These layers manifest in various forms, ranging from bold and explosive gestures to delicate lines reminiscent of water's flow. By observing how different mediums and materials behave under various conditions such as time, heat, or gravity, and by influencing and controlling them, he creates shapes that distort perception. The layers come together in apparent chaos and randomness, yet they ultimately find their place as if they couldn't exist in any other composition.
