The beauty of the remaining white: motifs emerge, seemingly floating, from the white surface of the canvas. This creates depth and transcendence that extend beyond the picture itself. Spitzweck's work is characterized by an unconditional focus on the essential. Furthermore, his pieces leave ample room for imagination, oscillating between figuration and abstraction.

Martin Spitzweck draws on large sheets of paper. This results in almost breathy, poetic brush drawings that move between ephemeral fleetingness and concentrated devotion.

Despite his virtuosity as a draughtsman, Martin Spitzweck is not interested in creating a lifelike portrait, but rather in the subject matter, in terms of content, visualisation and far beyond: the gaze. Initially, it is the artist's gaze that triggers the shutter. But then it is above all the gaze of the other person with whom the viewer is confronted: SEE ME. This gazing eye is multiplied in Martin Spitzweck's works - and these eyes often reflect conflicting feelings, such as fear and longing, devotion and shyness, doubt and confidence. Every gaze is the gaze of a living creature and its inescapable individuality, waiting to be recognised.

In the drawings, the gaze detaches itself from the individual, becomes the subject of the picture itself, meanders across the picture surface, looks out of the picture, begins to embrace other gazes, to dance with other gazes, unites with them to form new formations, piles up into acrobatic pyramids of gazes, withdraws into a quietly observing pose, submits to the style of the brush to the point of renouncing presence, leaves the decision about empty spaces, about form and the dissolution of form to the draughtsman - and yet

remains a gaze, longing, appraising, questioning, devoted - just as the artist's gaze, which we do not see except in what we see, is devoted, devoted, full of love.

Writing accompanies the process – in parallel, he creates artist's books such as DREAMING DREAMS for the Bavarian State Library, song lyrics and poetry.
