Bert Esenherz German, b. 1961
Alien Encounter offers a bold and cinematic plunge into a moment of extraterrestrial contact. The expansive canvas immerses viewers in suspense, fascination, and wonder—hallmarks of Esenherz’s narrative-rich, abstract style.

Portraying an encounter with the "other," the piece navigates the thin boundary between curiosity and unease. It captures the psychological charge of confronting the unknown—more an emotional revelation than a sci-fi spectacle.
