I don't have ideas, I find them.
Stefan Wagner does not consider himself an artist, rather a researcher -
always on the search for paths to inspiration, both in quick, simple sketches
with pencil and brush in country and city, and later in his finds, notes and
drawings. In the casual interaction between lead, color and paper, he discovers
surprising details, fleshing them out and letting the viewer fully experience
them in his large-format blow-ups.
