The artistic examination of the themes of our time and the theme of giving shape to sound according to his will led Dieter Eichelmann to this choice of material. He is fascinated by the possibility of creating the still unburned earth. The ceramic object and relief offers Dieter Eichelmann the special opportunity to satisfy his curiosity for new discovery, for experiment and adventure.

Dieter Eichelmann wants to understand his work as an expression of his understanding of the world, they are a synthesis of what has been seen and experienced.

The art historian Dr. Dirk Tölke on the works of Dieter Eichelmann: "The ceramic works of Dieter Eichelmann are not potted or turned. Stratifications, montages, changes of negative and positive forms, additions of metal and other materials, combinations of smooth and rough surfaces lead to objects, steles and murals that convey joy over creation with playful elegance and evoke thoughtfulness."

Dieter Eichelmann organized numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland. He took part in numerous competitions, only the commissioned work at the roundabout in Würselen-Broichweiden and at the Rhein-Maas-Klinikum in Würselen are mentioned.
