In his painting, Fabian Hiller combines analogue and digital processes to create a hybrid pictorial space. The starting point for his works are visual phenomena created by screens, simulations and technical devices, which appear from the outset as abstracted images. Just as photography transforms reality, digital space also generates its own pictorial logic, which Hiller translates back into painting.
Pictorial spaces emerge in which forms fold, overlap or dissolve and oscillate between depth and surface. The forms often appear like holographic apparitions within an artificial, simulated space. It is precisely in this tension that the paradox of his works unfolds: the retranslation of digital imagery into the physical reality of colour, materiality and canvas.
Fabian Anton Hiller (*1997 in Mainz) has been studying under Thomas Scheibitz at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf since 2022.
