Outdoor sculpture "Die Welt" by Rainer Stieffather, art marble

His impressive statues, wall reliefs and fountains have made the Baden artist Rainer Stiefvater internationally known. His latest work is a homage to the beauty of creation that was only published in a small edition. Based on the sculptures of the Freiburg cathedral, stepfather refers to archaic mystery cults and their natural cultural roots, including the Magna Mater, who is revered for her spring festivals. The stylized growth rings on their shoulders symbolize this cycle, while a lizard on her back is interpreted as a sign of dark powers since the high Middle Ages.
