"My pictures are based on the idea of painting the stage that our daily struggle for existence is acted out on. A stage on which man defines himself in all absurdity, contradiction, hope and desire. This process leaves traces behind - traces I like to call the 'beautiful dirt' of the inner struggle."
Jonas Burgert 2012, quote after: Der Berliner Maler Jonas Burgert, in: Frankfurter Rundschau, Panorama, April 27, 2012
