Ralf Altrieth - Lost Paradise - XXL

Each canvas is a unique creation. My painting moves between abstraction and figuration. As in life, nothing is fixed. Things appear and then disappear. I have been painting for 35 years, and I participate in several exhibitions each year.

I was drawn to the visual arts from an early age, and at 14 I took private lessons with the painter Georg Schaible, before entering the Nürtingen Academy of Fine Arts between 1987 and 1989.

I have a preference for the fragile, the subtle, the uncalculated. I like anything that can happen when you’re not in a production mindset, anything that can happen when you’re lost in the present moment.

I have lived in Berlin, Paris, Venice, Bavaria and Normandy, and I am now settled in the south of France.

I am also a jazz musician and composer.

My paintings are exhibited in numerous art venues in France and internationally, notably at MAC Paris, Galerie Théo de Seine (Paris), Galerie N5 (Montpellier), Galerie Hartmut Beck (Germany), and Galerie La Salamandre (Nîmes). Many are today part of private collections around the world.

The artwork will be provided with a signed and dated certificate of authenticity.
