I have never followed any agenda or creed, and I don’t like predictability and obviousness. When it comes to visual art, I find myself more inspired by individual artworks and the world around me, rather than specific artists or artistic movements.

I am interested in producing pieces that extend beyond an institutionalized vacuum, so that it exists as an element particular to their time.

My research focuses on the topic of space. I like to challenge the relationship between body, space and dimension, raising questions about the physical and individual perception of these three elements.

In it’s very DNA painting, the applying of liquid colour to a surface by various procedures, offers itself as the ideal means to create a purposeful exchange, where chance can engage with necessity and randomness with determinism.

I use repeating, modular, geometric patterns to illustrate personal observations, philosophical theories, and psychological phenomenon.

I define my works as abstract genre scenes. The white works show the “Hic et nunc” feelings, and the black works flood in the time. Although both ones are silent and deaf.

When I first started making abstract paintings it became a sort of philosophical pursuit; I used reductive forms and flat colors to deconstruct the visual world...

The work is primarily about painting; it's nuances, it's faults and the way it's seen and made. I see paintings as signs -signs for everything that stands behind them, and for everything they point towards...

My work expands outward from a central point of minimalism, into a world of texture, color, and material. I am interested in investigating the concept of space, boundary and the aesthetics. My works are representations of that exploration...

My work examines the „bodyness“ and sensuality of materials and objects from daily life like easy fabrics, tiles, glass and wood. I also examine my environment, objects or bodies by taking photos, modelling with clay or taking moulds from body parts. What I also try to document with photography is atmosphere. My objects work like pictures but mainly as „persons opposite“. The objects creates a physical presence in the room and so the aspect of atmosphere becomes relevant again...

I am interested in language as a system which we use and which surrounds us. Words structure our thoughts and therefore our perception. Nevertheless there ist a immanent gap between the image and the word, between us and our surrounding. I create archaic paintings, signifier for this condition. These archaic, symbolic images preserve and highlight the interval between image and language. Others are more connected to system structures, flirting with power, or create signs we have to refill.

I’m not proficient in working with the computer or digital media. I draw my inspiration from simple structures that I find in urban settings and in nature. This might be a stair railing, the growth of a tree or a car sticker.

I'm inspired by the way everything is connected with each other.

I work best under time pressure. I give myself deadlines all the time, but I never make it. Only the most important one - the last one.

I get inspired by dirty walls, grime, torn posters, erosion, found colours and weather. I find going for walks and cycles the most interesting thing to do, there is so much out there to see and such discoveries provide ideas for myself to work from.

The fertiliser for my work? Movement.

"My works are based on the aesthetic of predictable forms as an objectified form of expression. My aim is to discover a self-organizing structure that I can also shape through additions and reductions." Hagen Hilderhof

Like alien life forms the colors in Haure Madjids paintings grow and stretch over the canvas. These forms, inspired by European and Oriental ornaments, unfold a strong energy.
