Symbiconism is a term formulated by Pitt Knüpfer to define an artistic movement of his own creation. In merging symbol and icon it describes a form of art that draws primarily upon emblems, pictograms and signs.
The style is distinguished by its systematic, often mosaic-like composition of visual fragments, alingning it conceptually with Pop-Art, yet extending into the realms of Conceptual Art and Neo-Pop. At the heart of Symbiconism lies a paradox Knüpfer refers to as 'simple complexity'. Through carefully orchestrated arrangements of familar symbols, frequently producing a micro-macro dialectic, the works unfold abstract yet resonant images that engage the viewer on multiple interpretive levels.

The monumental piece 'NarratiO VitÆ' stands as the quintessential expression of this practice. Comprising over 2,600 individual elements, it embodies a narrative of existence articulated not through language, but through the polyphony of signs - a visual testament to the cultural codes shaping modern perception.
