Willi Siber is one of the most important southern German artists who has meanwhile also made a name for himself on an international level.
As early as the 1980s, for example, he began to innovatively expand his technically formal wooden works, which gives his work a special significance in the renewal of wood sculpture. However, he turned away from solid wood sculpture at an early stage and subsequently created cushion or tube-like wooden shells with densely applied, burled surface structures. He soon expanded his oeuvre by experimenting and working with different colours, varnishes, emulsions and cast epoxy resin, although today steel and plastic are his preferred materials.
His works, bristling and delicate, heavy and light - live from contrasts, from the play with sensual perception of material and colour, surface and depth.
 
His understanding of art and his work as a sculptor, painter, draughtsman and object artist cannot be assigned to any particular style and constantly questions the aesthetic effect of the materials he uses. Whether they are made of wood, resin or steel, Siber's wall, floor and picture objects inevitably cast a spell over the viewer. They shine with the glamour of perfection, yet seem light and playful, self-confident and sovereign in a self-evident way.
