Agricola de Cologne

"As the artist's brand, the very name Agricola de Cologne points to his ambitions and intensions, that is, his 'program'. Based on the real family name Agricola, which stands for humanism and humanity, and the combination of art and humanism [in Renaissance times there were several humanists, philosophers, painters named 'Agricola'], it also symbolizes his connection to Greek philosophy: in school he learned the ancient languages — Greek and Latin — that the Renaissance was based on.

The city of Cologne stands for the city of art and culture (based on a history of 2000 years, and founded by the Romans) and above all nowadays, the city of media: it is the place in Europe where the most television companies and a very important film industry are located. So, the brand 'Agricola de Cologne' stands for awareness of history, humanity, new media and new ways of approaching art." -- From Turbulence
