"The rings resembling agates may also be interpreted as circles produced by waves in a stiff body of water: a wonderfully beautiful, clear 'drop' producing ever growing circles, spreading out until the impulse is spent and broken on the shores of a different world. The two columbine flowers stand for beauty, tenderness, but also vulnerablility, and accompany the growing child, two trustworthy protectors, in spite of their own frailty."
Born on March 10, 1931, Otto graduated from the Graphic College with honours. He designed more than 100 large posters and 157 postage stamps. He was awarded the Honorary Cross for Science and Art. In 1988 he was granted the honorary title of Professor.
