The origins of the Spectral Paintings lay in a time period of quiet but intensive introspection for the artist. In the past two years, Denzler spent much of his time in isolation in his studio in Zurich. Due to the surroundings circumstances, themes like fleeting personal bonds and the transienceof our life and its components started to be at the forefront of the artist's mind.

 

Denzler's Spectral Paintings symbolizes both a personal consideration about the passage of time, what stays behind, and a painter's sovereign ability to provide spaces for projection. It is an invitation to engage in an open dialogue with his work and give the viewer the opportunity to discover a deeper meaning on a more personal level.
