Robert Engl found his means of expression very early on. A solid training as a sculptor gave him the means to express his life-philosophy, his answers to the conflicts of the existence of man, his environment and the realities of the world, in such a way as to convincingly bind form and philosophy together in harmony.

The greatly reduced form of expression that are his sculptures and paintings; relating to the essence, the core of things, do not allow one to just glance at whilst walking by. His understated, simple, and for that reason so fascinating works demand that one stops, searches, and In this way come closer to his message; a message that has had all unnecessary embellishment put to one side in order to show the eternal truths of reason and love which give meaning to our lives.

Art isn't always an expression of beauty, it can also express criticism, even despair, but it cannot be allowed to consist only of the negative. Engl's art gives us the chance to stop for a moment and see things as they really are - to look into the centre of them.
