plant

During his art studies, Jürgen Raiber worked exclusively drawing and using the original graphic techniques of woodcut and etching with the human figure in its natural and social environment. The master class with Werner Tübke served to further intensify his graphical examination of the shape and physiognomy of the human being.

In the decision (from the mid-1990s) in favor of sculpture , the transition from the image to the structure of three-dimensional reality took place, the expansion of form into space.
