Jochen Flinzer is known for his embroidered works of art. Instead of using a pen, Flinzer draws with a needle and thread on cardboard or canvas. Embroidering one of the motifs he has found in the outlines, the result is a "Janus-headed" picture with front and back. Both sides of the picture are inextricably linked and yet at the same time independent.
