As a living SIGN OF THE TIME the DOME OF PEACE shall point the direction to a humane and dignified future, everywhere on our planet. The DOME OF PEACE is an exhibition and performance center, as well as a hall of contemplation, congregation and celebration, dedicated to all planetary citizens.

LIGHT OF LIFE
The monumental cycle of oil paintings with the title LIGHT OF LIFE was created by DE ES from 1980-1990. It consists of 100 paintings, each 2x2 meters. If they are arranged side by side in a circle -which has a diameter of more than 60 meters- the basic dimension of the DOME OF PEACE (in which the paintings will be exhibited permanently) is defined.

PLANETARIANS
PLANETARIAN-sculptures and installations are designed to populate a park-area around the dome. The STONEMAN from the STONEPERIOD continues to live as a sculpture since 1987. The artist named the original (made out of plaster) PLANETARIAN. The copies (till today more than 140) are made of polyester and painted with acrylics. The stone-skin of the Stoneman transformed on the PLANETARIAN-sculptures into colorful, vivid basic patterns.

The diversity of paintings on the skin of the PLANETARIANS demonstrate the concept of ALL ARE THE SAME ~ ALL ARE DIFFERENT. PLANETARIANS are coming from a world without borders, bringing the message of the fullness of inner power. They are upright messengers of peace, from the DIMENSION OF WHOLENESS.
