Son of a pastor, Matthias Geisler grew up in a strict religious family. While his Christian upbringing and his life in a village undoubtedly influenced his work, the 2000s had an equally extended impact on his creative language with science fiction and 90s computer games. His contemplative nature allowed him a quiet understanding of his environment which transferred into his visual world as a dialogue between the metaphysical and the trivial. His motives quote characters and pictorial symbols from Pop culture, religion and the internet, creating a snapshot of life in the early days of the 21s century.
