Stone of Life

On 07.08.2017 the Stone of Life of the  stone sculptor Günter Schinn from Riedenburg was exposed. The path of art in Essing has been enriched by a new work of art, which blends in very harmoniously.

Water as the source of all life and a small energy stone, a chalcedony rose, inspired the artist Günther Schinn to design this exhibit, which was presented and even awarded at the Landesgartenschau in Bayreuth last year.

Water is also the very personal joie de vivre of the artist. This elemet is powerful, soothing through its splashing and always moving. However, it is therefore not stable, not tangible, but escapes one from the hands. Rivers around the world are drying up and also springs are drying up. For that reason, Günther Schinn Had the intenttions to craete a permanent source with his Stone of Life (from our material Kelheimer Auerkalk), which shoul permanently donate power and energy. Sunbeams, reflected in the "golden center" of the sone as on a water surface, are designed to enhace a positive sense of power. A quto from Franz Kafka "Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old" decorates the stone and encourages the viewer to think.

At the unveiling of this special work of art, the idea arose for a symposium on the path of art in Essing. This symposium will take place in the summer of 2018. Here, visitors, hikers, walkers or just anyone who is interested, can look over the artists/ sculptors shoulder while they are working.
