“The freedom of art is courage.” – Scharein on the central idea of his work:

The impact of the paintings is not aimed at quick understanding, but requires time from the viewer. I wish viewers would dare to just perceive my paintings emotionally first, and then let themselves be guided. The topics of my multipart works are again and again: Where do we come from? What are we doing here? And what will come afterwards?
