H. R. Giger

“You know I was curious - I was interested in all kinds of mystery or deeper meanings in the paintings because I myself have not analyzed why they have turned out like this or like that.”

“I like elegance. I like art nouveau; a stretched line or curve. These things are very much in the foreground of my work.”

“Some people say my work is often depressing and pessimistic, with the emphasis on death, blood, overcrowding, strange beings and so on, but I don't really think it is.”

“You know, it was just another presentation of my work, and a funny one, because the cards are quite different from the normal Tarot deck, no?”

“No, I didn't work it out upside down, I never turned it around.”
