Uli strongly feels that mankind is in need of art and artistic expression like a flower is in need of water to grow. A civilization without art is essentially a society which produces barrenness. In this time and age of exciting technological advances  there is a very serious danger for mankind to lose its soulful sensibilities. Art can and must redress this balance. (‘Art’ meaning all fine art forms - not just the visual forms of creativity, but musical ones, too.) It is a quest for Uli to bring art closer to many and to further the cause of true art, which is one of the greatest gifts the Creator has bestowed on us.

True art - meaning art on a very high and pure level - has the power to carry and express what the ancients have called that ‘divine spark’ as symbolized in Michelangelo’s famous fresco painting ‘God Creating Adam’ in the Sistine Chapel.
Uli is convinced that some of the old masters in painting and music were indeed Messengers of God - not unlike the prophets of ancient times, but each carrying and emphasizing different aspects of the divine message.
No one signifies this more-so, than the two great genius figures whose artistic vision embodied the very spirit of the Renaissance - Michelangelo -
the archetypal artist - and his equally inspired counterpart, Leonardo...
Uli draws a lot of inspiration from these artistic giants of the Renaissance and often cites them when asked about his heroes.
