Zimmermann develops his "Bilderverwandlungen" after travelling Europe, USA, North-Africa, India, Japan and China and reading Martin Heidegger as well as examinating the psychology of C.G. Jung.
Helmut Zimmermann's "Bilderverwandlungen" comprise of faces and mandalas, mystic paintings of circles or polygones.
