Five different working groups give an insight into Také's way of working:
Staged photography, which is conceptually thought out and executed
Photo collage that combines photography with painting
Photo painting in which the photo is changed by painting
Digital painting, the painting of the 21st century, and
Painting, pure painting - this includes his current series "Water Lilies" .

The combination of different artistic forms of expression corresponds to the worldview Takés.
If the realization goes, the invisible is there! ",,
is one of his quotes.
It is not the reproduction of material reality that is its topic, but visualizing inner forces and spiritual energies. Here, deeply human issues are parallelized by linking Asian and European formal language ”,
writes the art historian Dr. Annette Georgi and continues:
His work lives from an openness that apparently overcomes the barriers of cultures as well as that of the mind. A level behind the visible reality becomes clear and releases that kind of meaningful imagination that also shows us reality with new eyes. ”
The artist explains his way of working as follows:
The ideas flow out of me, want to be born, thoughts want to be made visible. "
He adds that the dialogue between consciousness and subconscious matters.
In terms of content, it is about his big topic: the "transformation" - in painting as in nature. This is particularly impressive in his series "Water Lilies" (German water lilies). The Dragon Fly (German Libelle) is a symbol of the transformation for Také: "Yesterday another larva, and today a magical being." What interests him is the visible and invisible world, the world "that we see and yet do not see".
Kanjo Také also shows us that nature means struggle. For the dragonflies, the graceful hunting drivers, this means: area defense, search for food, reproduction - and - be careful: frogs! - The fight for survival. No wonder that the prehistoric insect at Také Grimmig looks - see his work "Water Lily - Dragon Fly" .
