plant
Dörfler's works deal with human existence, which he sees as a constant limitation. The portrayed people seem lonely, weak, unfree and desperate and are thus in contradiction to the idea of mankind of many ideals. His paintings and drawings therefore mainly consist of figures in space, which are always forced into closed forms.
